Latin beat

(4 out of 5 stars)
"Well, this is obviously well executed Latin (and at times Latin jazz) music, with contributions of mostly unlisted players, while those that are listed include Clark Terry, one of my favorite jazz musicians (and one of the chief reasons I purchased the album in the first place)...
However, I feel that the jazz aspect of this album is secondary to the latin beat and, since this is allegedly one of the most jazzy recordings by this famous percussionist, I don't think I'll search his other albums... And, if you wish to buy this CD because you like Clark Terry - don't! He's just executing Bobo's concept of music....

Among the better known songs on this album are two from the Marcel Camus' film "Black Orpheus"."
