Description
Sealed copy of Mio International MCS-1004 Pete Terrace and His Orchestra ~ P. T. (PT). I am not sure if this is original release or reissue.
Pedro Gutierrez (a/k/a Pete Terrace or “ Latin Pete”) was born to Puerto Rican parents in New York City in 1927. Terrace played percussion and the vibraphone in Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban jazz groups.
From hipwax.com: “Pedro Gutierrez (Pete Terrace) excelled at vibes, Latin, and Latin jazz despite his Anglicized name, which may have been a disadvantage. His talent was such that he recorded several albums for Tico, although he may be best known for a budget-label boogaloo session. His father was a disc jockey in New York and Miami, his brother Ray an accomplished drummer. After drumming in the Commercial High School and U.S. Army bands, Latin Pete attended Julliard. Following graduation in 1952, he switched to vibes and got his start with Noro Morales, Tito Puente, Pupi Campo, Buddy Rich, and Josephine Baker prior to joining Joe Loco.
George Goldner, A&R head of Tico (and later head of Cotique) saw enough potential to commit to a series of albums for the Pete Terrace Quintet. Terrace started his own New York City label, Mio International (Latin records and a few others, such as Hawaiian), after which he practiced medicine in Puerto Rico.
