CR Review: Johnny Colon And His Orchestra - The Best
On2で踊りたいお薦めサルサ/On2 Lovers’ Choice：
Johnny Colon And His Orchestra: The Best
NYマンボダンサーの喜ぶナンバーをたっぷり詰め込んだ１枚。④Merecumbeは誰もが知っている曲だが、迫力ある演奏で聴かせる。また、レトロな感じがいい⑤、ピアノソロが光る⑥、哀愁と高揚感が絶妙にミックスされた⑨もダンサーに好評。古き良きNY正統派のトランペットとトロンボーンにシビれる、という人にぜひお薦めしたい。

————————————
This is a superb collection of songs that should appeal to the New York mambo crowd. The song which most people will be familiar with is ‘Merecumbe’, which rumbles away here magnificently. Other songs which I have played from this cd and which have worked on the dancefloor are ‘Echala Pa Ca’, which rolls along very nicely in a retro fashion, ‘Entre Compay y Comay’, with a wonderful piano solo which the rest of the band give plenty space to, and ‘Dejame En Paz’, which manages to be both mournful and uplifting at the same time. If you dig old school NY trumpet and trombone, this cd is for you.
