Azteca - Ain't got no special woman, taken from their debut album, released in 1972. Azteca at times numbered as many as eighteen musicians, with four very good vocalists. Percussionist Coke Escovedo, uncle of Sheila E ( her father being Pete Escovedo ), formed this powerful Latin rock outfit in 1972. Escovedo, of course, was well known for his work with Santana, and he also went on to release a number of solo albums. Azteca featured a very young Lenny White on drums, later to feature with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Al Di Meola in Return to Forever.They released two albums, one of which, this debut, was released on CD a few years ago by GNP Records. Coke Escovedo sadly died on 13 July 1986, and his son, Paris, has revived Azteca, and they're playing old as well as new material. It would be quite an experience to hear what they sound like today!

Hi there,
Electric Piano on "Azteca" was played by George Muribus. Just thought I'd correct the spelling. I grew up around these people during this time and George was like an uncle to me. Thanks for reviewing this! Wendy Haas is now married to Martin Mull, I believe (trivia, but I think she now goes by Wendy Mull).
Thanks,
Lee B.
