More Afro-Cuban Jazz, but much more accessible and commercial than Machito or Sabu. This is probably because most of the
songs here contain vocals and the emphasis is more on songs rather than instrumental excursions. This is smooth, confident
and competent playing which focuses on the overall big band swing of the songs, rather than showboating by instrumentalists.
Also, there's a heavy dose of Mambo and Salsa on this album. I must admit to a little "mambo fatigue" after finishing this.
Fans of Latin Jazz will probably enjoy this, but it didn't excite me all that much. Maybe it?s that it seemed this band
were playing it a little too safe in being so smooth? Well performed, but just not the sort of thing I'd cue up for my own
pleasure.
