Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers

Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers

Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers has been played on NTS shows including If Music Presents You Need This w/ Jean-Claude, with Got Myself A Good Man first played on 23 January 2015.

Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers (aka Pucho & The Latin Soul Brothers), was a 60s / early-70s latin jazz / jazz funk / rnb band, formed by Henry Brown (b. 1 Nov 1938, best known as Henry "Pucho" Brown), in 1959. Somewhat forgotten, until 90s re-releases - few fused: jazz, latin music, soul & funk, nearly as well. Other members included Chick Corea.

Pucho didn't achieve the wide recognition of some other 'latin jazz' performers, exploring similar territory, e.g.: Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo & Cal Tjader. The timbales player / bandleader may also have been too eclectic / open (to outside influences), to achieve significant recognition amongst piers & the, then contemporary, 'serious' jazz community. He disbanded the group in 1973, to focus on more traditional 'latin music'.
