Recorded at the famed Van
Gelder Studios,
Mambo in Blue features all original music composed by guitarist/leader Eric Susoeff. Mambo in Blue is available on high fidelity BASF Chrome Dolby Stereo cassette (sorry CDs not available at this time). The introduction to the title track finds Rolando Morales, George Jones and special guest Dimas Sanchez performing a compelling rhythm on conga and bata drums. As for the tune, the name says it all: a bluesy gritty mambo that combines the best of both worlds. Other tracks on side one are "Green Card" a groove filled cha-cha with an angular melody and the popular "Bossa For Joanne."
