Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe - The Hustler. Bitrate (quality): 128. mp3. 1. The Hustler.

This is the classic second album that Willie Colón recorded with Héctor Lavoe as his lead vocalist. The session would dictate the stylistic direction that both men took as one of the greatest salsa duos in history. Their debut album El Malo (1967) boasted a trombone heavy sound that was raw and unorthodox- perceived by the public as part of the Latin soul craze of the boogaloo and shing-a-ling. Some of the tracks onThe Hustler (1968) made reference to the crossover trends. The rest of the album, however, moved in a different direction. Hence the name (and cover art) of this LP. The image of Willie posing in front of a pool table on the cover is a reference to the 1961 movie The Hustler, with Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason. The photo was shot at Jerry Masucci's father's Ridgewood Grove Billiards in Yonkers. Héctor still wasn't sure that he wanted to be in a band," recalls Colón.

Posing on the cover of the corresponding album, Rodriguez and his band looked stylish yet safe, their swinging little party on pause. By 1968, boogaloo had become a popular and thus potentially lucrative musical form, and Fania Records was one of its most reliable outlets. Masucci and Pacheco had a good fifteen years on Willie Colón, the teenage trombonist they signed from the South Bronx. Released in 1968, The Hustler was anything but ordinary. A mesmeric prototype of the salsa to come, its rejection of the previously accepted norms for Latin music begins with its album artwork, a front cover photograph of the band taken at a pool hall owned by Masucci’s father in Yonkers. As with records like Pete Rodriguez’s I Like It Like That or its successor Oh That’s Nice!, the guys are well-dressed.
