Description:
This 7” pairs two explosive tracks from the Latin soul and jazz-funk scene. “Got Myself A Good Man” by Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers blends congas, timbales, and syncopated horns with soulful vocals and an irresistibly danceable groove, epitomizing the 1960s New York Latin-funk crossover. On the flip, “Fire-Eater” by Rusty Bryant, a hard-bop saxophonist, explodes with fiery jazz improvisation over funk-laced rhythms, making it a perfect bridge between jazz, soul, and early funk instrumentation.

While “Got Myself A Good Man” has been appreciated for its percussion and horn hooks.

“Fire-Eater” has been a favorite for rare groove DJs and live funk fusion bands, influencing producers in the acid-jazz and boogaloo revival scenes. Both tracks exemplify the cross-pollination of jazz, Latin, and soul influences that defined the late ’60s funk era.
