Sacbé - Street Corner (1982)

Yesterday, I took you on an Attila Zoller marathon. Today, we're diving into the vibrant and eclectic world of Sacbé. Given the enthusiastic reception of their debut album last week, I thought you’d all appreciate more from this phenomenal band. This is now part two of the marathon. "Street Corner," released in 1982, captures Sacbé at a pivotal moment of transformation and exploration. It's a remarkable tapestry of Latin jazz and fusion, woven together with the intricate musicianship and innovative spirit that define Sacbé.
In 1979, significant changes swept through Sacbé. Enrique Toussaint's marriage led to Eugenio and Fernando relocating to Minneapolis, marking the departure of saxophonist Alejandro Campos and ushering in a new era for the band. Guitarist Will Sumner joined the ensemble, adding a fresh melodic voice and expanding their sonic palette. However, it was in Los Angeles where the band truly found its new identity, with saxophonist Jon Crosse becoming an integral member, both as a performer and a composer. His contributions, alongside the Toussaint brothers' dynamic interplay, resulted in a rich, multi-layered sound that’s both sophisticated and deeply emotive.
"Street Corner" is a journey through urban landscapes and introspective moments, each track offering a unique glimpse into Sacbé’s evolving artistry. From the lively rhythms of "Curuba" and the evocative "Coyoacan," to the introspective "Soledad Compartida" and the homage to reggae legend in "Bob Marley," the album showcases the band's versatility and deep musical connections. The seamless blend of acoustic and electronic elements, coupled with the band’s signature Latin jazz flair, makes "Street Corner" a standout in Sacbé’s discography and a must-listen for any jazz aficionado.

Sacbé means "white road" in yucatecan mayan, in case anyone is wondering. It is said that one of the reasons that the spanish named Mérida the capital city of the Yucatán region it was because the sacbés around the area reminded them of the roman roads of their native Mérida, in Spain.
