Latin funk at its finest. A kingpin player of Miami’s Cuban music scene, Ray Fernandez brought together his “court” for this sensational Afro-Cuban funk triumph. Largely a family affair, the album features his wife and two sons along with a range of other talented musicians including Rickey Washington on saxophone, father of contemporary jazz maestro Kamasi Washington. Originally released in 1973, “Ray And His Court” is a dose of Miami heat fuelled by a Cuban fire, taking in salsa, soul, funk, calypso, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. It is a kaleidoscopic album that draws influence from a range of different genres and scenes, blended together in true Ray Fernandez style. A majestic and magnetic classic where every track is a surefire winner.
