JAVIER VAZQUEZ....GREAT SALSA ARRANGER/COMPOSER & PIANIST!!!

Born in 1936 in the Havanese neighborhood of Jesus María, the distinguished pianist/composer/ arranger/producer/bandleader Alberto Javier Vázquez Lauzurica (better known in the music world as Javier Vázquez) studied, back in the late 1940s and early 1950s, at the Conservatorio de Música de La Habana and at the Academia Musical de Perreyaide. By the late 1950s, Vázquez was already leading the Havanese nonet that accompanied the famous vocalist José Tejedor in the recordings of such hits as Las tinieblas, Escándalo and Vagabundo. Based in the U.S.A. since the mid-1960s, Bubú's prodigal son would function, during the following two decades, as a major contributor to the New York salsa explosion. As a matter of fact, Vázquez has performed and/or recorded with a wide range of U.S.-based Latin stars (La Lupe, Daniel Santos, Orlando Contreras, Roberto Torres, José Fajardo, Pupi Legarreta, Johnny Pacheco, Vicentico Valdés, Rubén Blades, Larry Harlow, Monguito El Unico, Mongo Santamaría, Justo Betancourt, Celia Cruz, Ismael Miranda, Héctor Casanova, Pete "El Conde" Rodríguez, etc). Not to mention his most recent chapter (from 2001 to the present) as Sonora Matancera's commander-in-chief.

MAIN VOCALIST: Frankie Vasquez (no relation with Javier): En 1977, su primo David Sánchez cantante de la orquesta Fuego 77 le invita a Nueva York. Frankie vende sus discos y hace el viaje con algunos dólares en sus manos. Frankie canta más alto que David y es lo que Al Santiago quería. El productor dice que Frankie es amable y enérgico y lo contrata para su primera grabación con este grupo: Fuego ’77 (Alegre records, 1978) Frankie interpreta: "Nueva York", donde su voz muy joven apenas se reconoce:

Fuego ’77 se separa tres años más tarde. Pero a Frankie no le falta trabajo, pasa dos años con Sonido Taiborí, y Orquesta Calidad y por intermitencia colabora también durante tres años con la Orquesta Metropolitana. Además va a trabajar con el New Swing Sextet durante quince años.
Por el intermediario de un músico del New Swing Sextet, integra el Conjunto Salsa de Wayne Gorbea por 5 años, lo volvemos a encontrar cantando y tocando el guïro en Sigan Bailando (1986) .
El director musical y bajista del Conjunto Salsa de Wayne Gorbea, Harry Justiniano, se va del grupo en 1987 llevando a su hermano (el conguero Angel Justiniano, y a Frankie Vázquez. Integran la Charanga Charanson del pianista Héctor Serrano.
Siempre muy activo, Frankie Vázquez colabora durante cinco años con el grupo de Javier Vázquez y su producción: Javier Vázquez y su Sonora, Ella Me Olvido (1990 Cuco Records).

WEB REMARKS: "One of the lesser known Cubans swallowed up in the primarily Puerto Rican 70s New York salsa scene, I first discovered pianist Javier Vazquez through his appearance on Ismael Rivera's Maelo, where he rocks the piano and takes arrangement on a few key cuts. He's also worked with Johnny Pacheco, Frankie Vazquez, Daniel Santos, Rudy Calzado, and Cali Aleman, in addition to brief stints on the mighty Fania and Alegre labels!"

* We offer a money back + shipping costs guarantee on our records (unless otherwise noted) if you feel the LP was not graded properly (in Grading “disputes” Return Shipping Not Included). We will issue a full refund upon its return, once our mistake has been verified.

Record Grading: Standard guidelines for grading records comes down to a subjective judgment that may vary from person to person. We grade records and LP covers visually AND (when possible) play-tested. We make every effort to give full disclosure (remember that the LP has at least 12 tracks and the grading may vary between each other)  and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Don't assume that our vinyl determination of "Very Good+" is the same as yours!

RECORD OR COVER GRADED VG or LESS WILL BE "SOLD AS IS"

MINT: Unplayed, still sealed.
 

NM RECORDS: are shiny, with no visible defects, they might have one or 2 minor superficial scuff and they should play without any noise. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must not be present; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

NM COVERS:

have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.

Picture Sleeves: should look as if they never housed a record. This is a great reason to remove your 45s from their picture sleeves and keep them separate. Just keeping the 45 inside the sleeve will cause damage than can reduce the grade of the sleeve.  

VG++ (Excellent) RECORDS: 
Barely noticeable play wear and background noise. May have surface scuffs and/or superficial marks, which will be inaudible or indiscernible from the background, no scratches. Very nice, flaws noted.
VG++ COVERS:
Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.  

VG+ RECORDS:

may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

VG+ COVERS:
should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.

VG+ PICTURE SLEEVES:
might show some very light creasing where it is obvious that a record once resided (or still does reside). A VG+ picture sleeve might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the sleeve’s most vulnerable location. 

VG RECORDS:

They have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches  may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape, or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes   will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.

VG COVERS and PICTURE SLEEVES:
will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear  in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would  reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be  visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides,  though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or stamped  a price tag on it, too.

RECORDS GRADED VG OR BELOW WILL BE "SOLD AS IS"

Items are to be paid within 7 days (if not paid by that time it will be subject for relisting) of auction close and will be shipped within 48 hours of receipt of payment. Paypal is the preferred method of payment.
