Music reviews of Comedia
Music Review: Underwhelmed again by the "new" Fania
Rating: 4 Stars
Let's get this out of the way from Jump Street: great music. But this is the 2nd of the "new" Fania reissues that I've heard that sound, well, crappy. Fired up by seeing the movie "El Cantante" (the Acadamy Award is safe but if you dig salsa, I think it's worth your time) my girlfriend and I went out and made a couple purchases. I got Comedia, since I lived with the old LP when it came out and she got the just-issued CD of Lavoe's originals performed in the movie. El Cantante sounds just slightly better on her disc but on both of them there's a miniscule drop-out at about 4:45. And they sound muffled, like the early days of Dolby. So maybe they're just working from masters in poor shape. But when I think of some of the jazz & blues reissues from waaay back that sound so darn good, can't help but wonder if corners were cut. Musically, the album is so lush that it's almost listening rather than dancing salsa, although there's some cookers on here. Interesting samba influence on a couple of cuts. I think I hear Salvador Cuevas on bass and Oscar Hernandez on piano, but I can't say for sure since there's no musician listing on this "new deluxe remastered edition". Hector's phrasing is wonderful and since he always was nasal, can't really say that all that cocaine was a problem here.

Description of Comedia
Without a doubt one of the most important recordings in the trajectory of Hector, Comedia delivers the knock out in more ways than one. A classic Willie Colon production and the Ruben Blades penned ''El Cantante'' amongst other floor burners set a fiery pace while fusing a variety of rhythms and tempos. A must-have for all Hector fans and Salsa enthusiasts.International CDs
