Kenya

Nice listening. Instrumental. Positive vibes.

Einfach extrem cool

Jon boi would fuckin love this Lisa Simpson shit.

Fav Song: Wild Jungle

This was enjoyable enough, nice to bop to. In the right circumstances this would be great fun, unfortunately not as fun just sitting at a desk listening.

Very uplifting - made me want to go visit latin america

Thought it was good and would like to listen to it again, to get a better feel for it

Big band x salsa/afro-cubano. No words, just horns and drums.

I am not a huge jazz fan but this album fucks.

So fun and upbeat! Felt like I was in a Latin club while working on the couch!

Fun listen. Afro-Cuban jazz like this will always put a smile on my face.

Not for me but it certainly wasn't annoying. Funky beats had my toe tapping at times so must have been hitting a spot, somewhere. 2.7/5

I think what makes this album great is very apparent on the surface. This is a fun, dancey, big band latin jazz album. Great performances, loved all the percussion, and clave rhythms. Nothing to really dive too deep into, just put it on and dance. Sounds incredible, great recording and mixing, not dated at all

Not my thing. Nice horn work. Mambo style.

Oof. This was a challenging album for a Monday morning. The chaotic, frenetic energy of cuban jazz is something I have to be in the mood for, not something that gets me in the mood. That said, this IS a damn good expression of the genre. It felt like the soundtrack to a 1970s spy movie and I am not sad about that. It was an enjoyable listen and I'll be saving it for another time when I AM in the mood.

Connor: African Jazz. lots of good horns. v much my genre

Frantic and fun. Not sure how I'd be able to dance to some of these songs without absolutely destroying my hips. Trumpet is definitely the star here. Favorite tracks: "Wild Jungle", "Kenya", "Cannonology"

1958. Key Songs: Kenya, Wild Jungle, Congo Mulence

Love

liked this a bit

jazzy!

Recording quality was really poor

This is pretty cool, thankfully not a "modern jazz" sound that's all based on maths and technical ability but more I guess a feel? kinda like blues but without pentatonics? Either way it's a catchy album from a bygone era, so it's cool but hard to judge. A song or two from it would go well on a summertime drinking playlist, but it's too samey to add the whole thing. just choose a couple of choice cuts and that'll do. 3/5,

Really enjoyed this
