"very smooth and great cuban jazz feeling....my father played this for me yesterday and i borrowed it to listen more to it.....it is a very relaxing album with some intense playing but mostly smooth african jazz music......the title track is probably the best and sometimes reminds me of the black saint and the sinner lady"

Shame on Prestige

"These supposed Prestige recordings from lp's in the mid fiftiesare poor in ywo ways:the first 8 selections have absolutely nothing to do with Afro Cuban rhythms, the sound "quality" is hideous, the final selections do have Latin beats but the sound quality still is vaugely passable. Liner notes are pathetic. See if you can find the great Afro Cuban lp by CBS records in a second hand store titled Big Boss Mann. Or, grab the Verve cd Flautista."
