Description: Detailed reviews of recordings made separately and together by the two Latin jazz stars.
Willie Colón/Rubén Blades Willie Colón is one of the giants of modern salsa, a popular trombonist and bandleader since the late 1960s. Born and raised in the Bronx, he hasn't shied away from incorporating R&B and rock influences into his music, without compromising his Latin identity; Sal Cuevas, his bassist during the late 70s and early 80s, played unusually far-forward - his funk-inspired slapping gives a distinctive flavor to songs like "Casanova," "Juanito Alimaña" and "Tiempo Pa' Matar." As time has gone by, Colón has expanded his musical palette still further, drawing on Brazillian influences and even flirting with hip-hop. Initially cultivating a rather stereotypical gangster image, he has become an articulate and responsible public figure - even running for US Congress in 1994 - clever at injecting political messages into his music without becoming overbearing.
