One of us at Blackbyrd recently took a trip to a predominantly Spanish speaking country and, while there, was overwhelmed with the silky tones of flamenco guitar, breezy tenor sax.congas and m̶a̶r̶g̶a̶r̶i̶t̶a̶ meandering drums. So much so, in fact, that the sunburnt gringo in question was moved to ask the talented musicians if they were familiar with The Latin Bit. They were! It's a testament to Green's piquante classic that it can be appreciated equally with a scotch on a couch, or a cervesa on a lounger. It's among the smoothest guitar records in the catalogue of arguably the smoothest guitar player to ever flick the strings.
