Kenny Clark Francy Boland ORIG GER LP Latin kaleidoscope NM 1969 MPS Latin Jazz
Kenny Clarke Francy Boland Big Band
Latin kaleidoscopeOriginal German LP released in 1969 on MPS Records. Cat: 21296857. This album has a gatefold sleeve.
Latin Kaleidoscope is comprised of two suites that are more traditionally Latinate, with the band swinging on well-written parts to a panoply of well-used percussion elements (Boland recruited drummers Kenny Clare, Al "Tootie" Heath" and Sabu Martinez to add their percussion talents). Gary McFarland's six-part "Latin Kaleidoscope" is a joy to discover much as it was to first hear his creations for Stan Getz on 1962's Big Band Bossa Nova (to which this Latin suite bears some distinctive similarities). His trademark is simple, invigorating themes with a memorable, childlike quality. "Latin Kaleidoscope" offers much evidence of his gifts. Boland, who added his own touches to this suite, never takes a solo throughout and is occasionally heard on harpsichord; a sensitive touch to sensitively considered music. And excellent solos are taken by Sahib Shihab ("Duas Rosas"), Ronnie Scott ("Uma Fita de Tres Cores") and Aki Persson ("Othos Negrs"). Francy Boland's "Cuban Fever" is like a musical postcard of Cuba: powerful, colorful, exciting, where the unexpected is approached at every corner. The innate skill of Boland's craft is most apparent here. Like the great jazz arrangers, he's a scenarist, a master painter. Here the brasses cover more of the thematic canvas. But it is often the reeds that take solo honors (a nice contrast) — with the exception of the beautiful finale, "Crepusculo y Aurora," which benefits from a resonant Benny Bailey trumpet solo (Clarke's clever shifting patterns are much in evidence here too).
