| Reissue with
the latest DSD remastering. A really wonderful album that's sometimes
overlooked because of it's relatively oblique cover and name – which
both hide the wonderful talents within! In truth, the set might be
billed as a Cedar Walton session – or maybe almost an Eastern Rebellion
one – as the vibe here is very similar to that later group, with a
strong tenorist working alongside Walton's trio, plus a bit of extra
Latin percussion. Clifford Jordan delivers wonderful tenor throughout –
and the core sound of Walton on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Billy
Higgins on drums is as great as on any of that group's other wonderful
albums of the time. Add in Ray Mantilla – who throws in some congas to
complicate the grooves a all the best moments – and you've got some
mighty nice icing on the cake! Titles include "He Is A Hero", "Una Mas",
"Manteca", and "DB Blues". |
