The late sixties and early seventies proved to be a fertile era for the Miami music scene. Those in the know, know that it was the heavy influx of Cuban musicians who had recently migrated to Miami as being responsible for uping the musical ante, and Ray Fernandez was the first Cuban musician to incorporate American funk and soul rhythms into the Cuban mix. Two records in particular are a testament to this fact. Originally recorded at the legendary M&M studios in Hialeah in 1973, "Cookie Crumbs" and "Soul Freedom" were prime examples of the Ray Fernandez touch. Out of print since 1974 on the highly sought after Sound Triangle label, these two pieces of 7" wax sell for as much as $650 apiece on the collectors market in America, England, Germany and Japan. World-renowned DJs Cut Chemist, DJ Shadow and Phil Asher have sampled these tracks heavily and these tracks have appeared on some of their biggest recordings. For the first time since these rare tracks have been out of print, we have assembled a CD of Ray Fernandez and his Musical Court's best recordings from the original master tapes.
