Obsession - Dave Valentin (con Herbie Mann) 

Lo oí por primera vez entre mi niñez y adolescencia en el Lp Libre Increible (1981) y Ritmo, Sonido y Estilo junto a Manny Oquendo y su Conjunto Libre (1983), alternando con tremendos músicos como Steve Turre, Andy Gonzalez, Jerry Gonzalez, Jimmy Bosch, Reynaldo Jorge y muchos más incluyendo por supuesto a Manny. Fue uno de los grandes músicos que me oriento al gusto del Latin Jazz por aquellos años, siempre brindando calidad en sus producciones musicales. Este tema escrito originalmente por Don Pedro Flores ha tenido innumerables versiones, pero en particular en este los arreglos son geniales, en especial oigan ese cambio de ritmo en el minuto 5:35 antes de la descarga de Robby Ameen (Integrante de los Seis del Solar). En el recuerdo por siempre Dave...👏👏

Dave Valentin My Favorite Things brought me here. AMAZING!!!!!

El Bronx no te olvida. Maestro. Dave Valentine dejaste un legado grande en la musica. 🙏 RIP.

Old enough to have seen and heard Herbie Mann in NYC many times all over town, and Dave Valentin in NYC and Puerto Rico. Great artists.

Rest in Peace, " Two Giants of the,Flute.... #BklynHerbie & Dave !# BX.....

Spiritual father and son - dos amigos (RIP) Dave's tonal quality is superb - big and commanding of one's undivided attention. Herbie loved to "mann" the higher register of the flute as in Memphis Underground, Memphis Two Steps, Push Push, Chains of Fool, New Orleans, Hold On, I'm Coming... I adore this by exclusive Dave Valentin, Jan. 2017 - so young; had accomplished and given back so much more, musically and socially.

rest in peace Dave...

Smooth and funky Thank you for your great music... Maestro dave valentin
