A classic album of Latin grooves from the UK scene – a musical world that wasn’t always a hotbed of styles in the Afro-Cuban mode, but which did have the benefit of the mighty percussionist Robin Jones! Jones was born in India, but moved to London during the same post-colonial jazz migration that brought the city key talents from the West Indies – and like Joe Harriott, Shake Keane, and others, Robin’s contributions to the scene were crucial during the years he worked in a variety of different groups! This set is Jones’ second as a leader – a very hip set that’s all jazz all the way through – with plenty of percussion from Robin, and a combo that includes trumpet, saxes, keyboards, and vibes – all used in ways that take off from the best jazz descarga styles into a range of other modes.
