Bongos are a much more versatile instrument than many 
people realize. We usually think of these two miniature
drums, held between the knees and rapped with the fingers
as an exciting addition to a rhythm section, used primarily
for the percussive excitement they can create. But there is 
a subtle, melodic side to the Bongos, too. They can add a
provocative accent to a gentle and melodious arrangement, 
urging it suavely along with just the suggestion of rhythmic
spice. This subtle, swinging use of Bongos gives unusual 
excitement to the lovely, imaginative arrangements of some
of the great classics of popular music played on this album.
Bongos have become the most exciting new sound in todays
American music.Each song is a carefully cultivated musical
 gem, spiced and carried along by the remarkable virtuosity of
  the exciting Bongos and Los Muchachos Locos.

discerning, discriminating and appreciative person, 
Perfection..........................in 
Spectacular Stereophonic Sound 
with "Phase X ".

The brilliance and excitement and sheer magnificence of the
musical sounds that have been brought to records by steadily
advancing techniques in recording engineering have turned 
the spotlight on several instruments that used to be given 
very little consideration.....Bongos, Flutes and Guitars.
And now the Grand Award All-Stars have reached a
new peak of musical beauty and excitement in their use of
brilliantly recorded bongos, flutes and guitars along with
the body of a brass section. Each of these selections piles
musical surprise, beautiful brilliance with a remarkable 
blend of sound coloring and very amazing sonic contrast.
