Manny Oquendo & Libre - "I Want You"

From 1994's 'Mejor Que Nunca' ('Better Than Ever'), this chugging, hip-slinging, stripped-down Marvin Gaye cover wins. And that's a pretty hellacious trombone solo there, too. RIP to the late, great Manny, who passed away two years ago this month.

No idea who's actually singing or playing the 'bone solo, but the severely talented lineup of musicians (particularly the amazing cats in the Libre Trombone Choir!) on the album is awesome: Manny Oquendo (vocals, marimba, bongos, maracas, timbales, percussion, bells); Willie Rodriguez (vocals, piano); Efrain Vasquez (vocals, marimba, guiro, maracas, percussion); Milton Cardona (vocals, background vocals); Dave Valentin (flute); Alex Harding (baritone saxophone); Charlie Sepulveda (trumpet, flugelhorn); Josi O. Vidal (trombone, bass trombone); Dan Reagan, Angel Papo Vasquez, Leonard Pollara, Orlando Pena, Jimmy Bosch, Papo Vasquez, William Cepeda, Arturo Velasco, Renaldo Jorge (trombone); George Delgado (congas, percussion); Andy González, Andy Gonzales (claves)
