Luchito & Néstor [2021] - Tighten Up [Original Gravity]


The latest cover of Archie Bell & The Drells funky classic "Tighten Up" by Luchito & Néstor on new UK vinyl label Original Gravity.  As you have probably already guessed from the artist name it's an interesting Latin/boogaloo take on it.

It's available to download now from BandCamp and will be issued on limited edition (300) 7" vinyl which will be shipped 22 Feb 2022.

There must be dozens of covers of this song, Roosevelt Matthews with Bobby Ball & The Upsetters, Maceo Parker, Wally Jump Jr & The Criminal Element and a more recent one by The Bamboos are some of the better ones that spring to mind.

Whilst digging around I came across the video below which I believe is just a jam session by Bernard Purdie; Chuck Rainey; David T. Walker; Sonny Phillips; Bill Bivens; Virgil Jones; Pancho Morales, Mr. Alligator Boogaloo and Lou Donaldson recorded at 'Supposed To Music' studio Brooklyn.
