“Recorded in the summer and fall of 1951, the eight songs on this 10" LP were the first that Tjader recorded for Fantasy. Jack Weeks was the bassist on these trio sessions, with Vince Guaraldi doing the piano duties on half the tracks and John Marabuto handling them on the others. This was the time in which Tjader's pioneering Latin/jazz/mambo fusion was falling into place. There's a fresh exuberance to these recordings. The four tracks with Guaraldi represent his first work in the studio, and he plays like a demon on "Three Little Words." In addition to playing vibes, Tjader adds drums and bongos himself here and there, and makes infectious rhythms on "Chopsticks Mambo" and "Ivy," as well as putting his vibes to more tender melodic use on the ballad "Lullaby of the Leaves" and Jack Weeks' sprightly "Charley's Quote." This rare and important disc was never even issued as a 12" LP.”
