I got this off a possibly cryptoracist scraggly old man dealer who prices skated Sgt. Pepper's at $30 but thinks of Latin funk as strictly dollar bin. His loss is our gain. Pathfinder seems to be a small NYC boutique label from the '70s, would love to learn more about them. I'm on the fence about selling this one, hope it goes to a good home. This is an original pressing.

Someone else's review:
A landmark in 70s jazz and Latin -- one of 2 legendary sets cut during the decade by composer/arranger Bobby Vince Paunetto -- easily one of the most unique voices of his generation! Bobby's got an approach to melody that's all tied up in the rhythms -- one that has most of the instruments in the group vamping along with the grooves, while solos take off in wonderful flights that soar to the skies on waves of sound and soul -- echoing a sense of joy and life that few other albums of the period can match, and hitting a groove that's complex, yet instantly moving and deeply personal. Players include Tom Harrell on trumpet, Ronnie Cuber on baritone sax, Billy Drewes on soprano sax, and Bobby himself on vibes -- sounding wonderful throughout the album, matching the 70s brilliance of Roy Ayers or Bobby Hutcherson! Also features percussion by Manny Oquendo, Jerry Gonzalez, and Milton Cardona -- and titles include "Osiris", "Fenway Funk", "In Time's Time", "Spanish Maiden" and "Brother Will". Essential!



Priority is $6 in the US or $3.50 via Media Mail. $1 more for each additional LP you buy from me
