ラテン・ソウル・クラシックスの大名盤、ハーヴェイ・アヴァーンの「VIVA SOUL」がリイシュー!!1960年代後期のアトランティック音源を象徴するヤング・ソウル感がたまらなくシビれる男の一枚。ラテン・サイドからはジョニー・パチェーコ、ジェリー・マスッチ等が加わり、勿論ハーヴェイ・アヴァーン自身のプロデュースで、ツボを押さえたヴィブラフォン・プレイもたっぷり楽しめます。モンギート・サンタマリアの「HEY SISTER」と並ぶ、ラテン・ソウルの名盤として是非とも押さえておきたいアイテム。Good!!
Despite maintaining an strong following among the New York Latin music scene of the late-60s and early-70s, and a reputation as a prolific songwriter for contemporaries like Eddie Palmieri and Ray Barretto, bandleader and vibraphonist Harvey Averne never reached high heights of success during his short-lived recording career.
He would achieve greater things as the head of the legendary Latin label Coco Records, but as a recording artist Averne languished in obscurity, apart from having penned the Latin club classic "Never Learned To Dance", while peers like Ralfi Pagan and Rubén Blades found increased popularity on a wider scale.This is unfortunate, as Harvey Averne's discography contains some truly remarkable examples of top-tier salsa, chicano rock, and boogaloo records. Chief among them being 1971's Viva Soul, which contained the famed track "Never Learned To Dance", as well as 11 other pieces, featuring punching stacatto brass, frantic electric pianos, and some truly funky Latin takes on songs by The Beatles and Little Anthony & The Imperials, among many others. Though Averne's recording career never flourished, Viva Soul has rightly become a highly sought-after piece of vinyl, and his discography a treasure trove for collectors.
