The John Buzon Trio - Cha Cha Cha On The Rocks

Ask the man on the street to name the most important product we import from our Latin American neighbors and he would not answer, as one might expect, coffee, bananas, sugar or rum... he would say the cha cha. For cha cha, once a delicacy savored only by Cafe Society, is now rapidly becoming the main course at college proms, high school hops and, in fact, just feed grandpa one chile pepper to change "hotcha" to cha cha.

Seldom has a new dance craze caught on so spontaneously with all age groups. In the beginning, however, the fever was limited to those who could endure a seemingly endless succession of monotonous tunes sung in a foreign language. But it soon became apparent that many of our best known standards not only took on new character when adapted to the cha cha rhythm, but they sounded better than ever before. Then it happened! Ole!

In this album the exciting John Buzon Trio offers for your dancing pleasure the full gamut of cha cha rhythms set to the "oldies"—standards that everyone knows. There's the bolero-cha cha treatment of Ghost of a Chance and Stars Fell On Alabama... the bright staccato-cha cha of When It's Sleepy Time Down South and It Must Be True... and you'll say "si-si" to the calypso-cha cha rhythm of the title song. And the whole album is generously sprinkled with the John Buzon Trio's fresh musical ideas.

It's a swinging' album all the way; so get yourself a dancing partner, tune up your hi-fi, pull back the rugs, and enjoy a most refreshing CHA CHA ON THE ROCKS.

THE JOHN BUZON TRIO
If you are one of the fortunate owners of the Liberty album INFERNO (Monaural LRP-3108, Stereo LST-7108) by the John Buzon Trio you'll need no introduction to this fabulous musical group.

You will have already thrilled to the astounding rounds seldom produced by the Hammond organ. When John Buzon plays, the instrument is at once a vibraphone, a brass section, marimba, string bass or you name it.

You will be thinking that it couldn't possibly be just Loren Holding playing the alto saxophone, clarinet baritone saxophone and maracas... sometimes all in the same song... without losing a note in the process. And your toes will be tapping from the solid beat generated by drummer Jack Russell. You will already know the raucous John Buzon Trio of Caravan and Mambo Rock and the intimate Buzon Trio of Smoke Rings—and your dancing shoes will have registered plenty of mileage.

You will easily understand why the John Buzon Trio is one of the fastest rising groups on the recording horizon.
