The Nitty Gritty Sextet boasts a killer line-up of some of the best musicians from the New York Latin scene. These are Tito Puente (Timbales), Louie Ramirez (Vibes), Ricardo Ray (Piano), Jimmy Sabater (Coro), Bobby Marin (Coro), Willie Torres (Lead Vocals), Charlie Palmieri (Tamborine), Ozzie Torrens (Percussion) and Bobby Rodriguez (Bass).
In 1967 in Spanish Harlem, the NY Latin Music All Stars gathered in the studio to record a bunch of tracks. The session captured the sound of the time, the fusion between latin music, mambo and son cubano with rhythm & blues and soul. Despite the interest of RCA in publishing them, many of these tracks never saw the light of day. Until now. Rocafort Records presses, for the first time on vinyl, "Something New" and "Nitty Boo Boo", two cuts penned by "The Nitty Gritty Sextet".
