Hold on (I'm Coming)

Machito and His Orchestra recorded the track in New York City on August 1, 1967 for the RCA Victor album Machito Goes Memphis, with Mario Bauzá featured on trumpet and Bert DeCoteaux credited as arranger and conductor. It appeared on Machito Goes Memphis, a 1968 RCA Victor album built around Latinized versions of Memphis soul and R&B material. The set was notable as a crossover-minded project for Machito’s orchestra, and the track sat alongside covers of hits such as “Hip Hug-Her,” “Knock On Wood,” and “In the Midnight Hour.” The recording remains one of the album’s best-known cuts and is regularly cited in discographies and online reissues as a standout example of Machito’s Memphis experiment. It also circulates in later digital editions under RCA Legacy, which has kept the track in print for collectors of Latin and crossover jazz.
