Midweek Mixdown: Liam Large (Jukebox Jam)

Here's a brilliant mix of vintage Cubano corkers, calypso heat and swinging R&B blasters assembled by Liam Large (Jukebox Jam) for the excellent Sofrito site. If you like what you hear then you really need to grab a copy of Liam's stone-solid Jukebox Mambo (Jazzman) collection of 1950s-era Afro-Cuban flavoured R&B groovers on the double. Spoiler alert: It's going to place near the top of The Perlich Post's Reissues of 2012 list. Check out Liam's mix which duplicates only two tracks from his killer comp now available on iTunes
