LaSo was effectively a project by Saxophonist Joe Bataan, this being their only known LP.

All tracks on the LP are disco, with the exception of the last track, sung entirely in Spanish, which I can only describe as "Latin Jazz".

On Side 1, "LaSo Square (Are you ready)" is particularly excellent, 10 minutes of it is not too much. Next track "Mom and Dad" has Jocelyn Shaw (AKA Jocelyn Brown) on lead vocals.

Side 2 starts with an instrumental version of Another Star, featuring Saxophone and Flute. The cover of Barry White's "I'll do for you..." is also instrumental.
