First, this "2-on-1" reissue by IMPULSE! Records is quite a deal. EL CHICO and FURTHER ADVENTURES OF, are almost indistinguishable, except the second album has more instrumental colors on its palate. Chico's overall sound reminds me of the Beatle's playing "Til There Was You", ie, a very pop feel, mid tempo sedate sounding, no "OUT" melodic passages, no fast frenzied latin rhythms like you hear on some afro-cuban jazz. ("Stella by Starlight" remains one of the few uptempo songs, tho certainly NOT uptempo like Santana's "Insident at Neshabur".) Supposedly Santana was influenced by Chico, apparently more by the texture, than the actual arrangements. Gabor Szabo's guitar playing sounds pleasant thruout. He plays on electic guitar with minimal processing, or acoustic guitar. These albums were recorded before Szabo found the sitar, in fact, his unique voice had barely developed here. Ron Carter appears on bass on FURTHER ADVENTURES. (is there any jazz album from the 60s and 70s he's NOT on?) His bass playing locks into the textured drum/percussion patterns with more panache, than Al Stinson's playing. Overall a relaxing, if somewhat sedate, set of records. Definately a good buy for fans of Szabo, who want to hear what he sounded like, before his "psychedelic", solo stype developed.
