Free Music Notes for La Clave

Free Music Review: Early '70s Latin funk and acid jazz from SF
Hit: 4 Stars

This San Francisco-based Latin funk-jazz ensemble cut a wide swath on the Bay Area music scene in the early 1970s, ultimately recording this fast-paced, funky album which showcased both the band's Latin American roots and modern, fusion- and dance-oriented elements. There are some interesting choices in repertoire, such as an amped-up version of "Sally Go Round The Roses" (a folk-pop hit for others a few years before) and a hefty dose of "Low Rider"-style Chicano funk. In the studio, La Clave's leader Benny Velarde made room for legendary jazz-pop composer-arranger Lalo Schiffrin, who plays keyboards and contributes a couple of tunes as well. This may be a bit forceful for the casual jazz fan, or Latinophile, but acid jazz fans will be psyched by this reissue on Dusty Groove's fledgling label. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Music Guide)

La Clave Poster

First time on CD for this lost bit of Latin funk from the early 70s - the one and only album ever recorded by this hip San Francisco combo. The group's heavy on percussion, keyboards, and wah-wah guitar - and they riff along mightily with a sound that's somewhere between Chicano soul and blacksploitation soundtrack funk. As an added bonus, Lalo Schifrin also had some mysterious role in the session - playing a bit of keyboards and supposedly helping on arrangements. The album's a rare treasure in the Verve Records catalog - easily one of the funkiest dates ever recorded for the label, and unavailable for decades!
