Machaca is an album by American composer-arranger/keyboadist Clare Fischer, the second to feature his Latin jazz combo, Salsa Picante.[a] Recorded on May 16 and 17, 1979, it was released in 1980 on the German label, MPS, and in the U.S. the following year on the Discovery label.
Reception
Los Angeles Times jazz critic Leonard Feather awarded the album 3 and a half stars, citing the blend of "light rock, Brazilian and miscellaneous Latin," and further noting that:
The leader's organ and other keyboard work and Rick Zunigar's guitar have some striking moments, and a team of percussionists stir up a storm, though the rhythmic excesses become tiresome on the title number. "Novios" is charming, with a suave beat and Gary Foster on flute. "African Flutes" makes intriguing use of two bass recorders, played by Fischer and Foster.[3]

Notes
- ^ Although this was indeed the second Salsa Picante album made by Fischer, recorded almost a year and a half before the LP that introduced his supplementary vocal unit 2 + 2 (Foreign Exchange – The First Album in its German release and 2+2 in the U.S.), it was the latter disc that preceded Machaca in their respective U.S. releases.
