One of the top salsa albums of the 1970s, Conjunto Libre eschews formulaic patterns that were common in mainstream salsa; bebop elements are welcomed, as well as free, extended musical improvisation, without sacrificing the integrity of the basic Cuban conjunto format. Rogers, Gonzalez, Oquendo, and Dave Valentin make an unbeatable combination. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr.
