Liner Note Authors: Joel Dorn; Ralph Gleason.

Recording information: Wally Heider's Studio 3, Los Angeles, CA ().

The mighty percussionist Mongo Santamaria left Columbia Records in late 1969 to sign with Atlantic Records. He cut his first album for the label--MONO '70--in 1970, and his last--UP FROM THE ROOTS--in 1972. In between were three others. With the exception of that final album, which employed African drums instead of congas on an album of traditional folk-oriented material, Santamaria's sides for Atlantic were all uptempo grooving, funky soul jazz, a natural outgrowth of his boogaloo sides for Columbia. Collectables issues all five of the early '70 sides in a generic, but decently priced three-CD set. This was the period where Santamaria was playing soul-jazz versions of chart hits that ranged from Motown hits to rock & roll tunes. That he did it with such flair, hard-driving funkiness, and innovative arrangements makes all of these recordings prime listening material in the 21st century.
