This was the perfect music for a rainy morning. Sixty-five years old and still sounding fresh. Maybe I've been listening to too much Gilles Peterson of late. You can never listen to too much GP tbh. The horn stabs are so sharp that they leap out and grab you by the bollocks. OUCH! That hurt, but soulful pain is good pain, right? The rhythm helped out with the morning typing tasks. I had a very productive and enjoyable morning at the keyboard. The tunes and history here are special. They need to be remembered.

Didn’t mind this but it did feel like I had put on an album of sixties theme tunes at one point. I found the history as the start of Latin Jazz interesting, especially how when something that sounds of its time as much as this was once fresh and new. Not the worst album I have had to listen to recently. but nothing really stood out.
