Løøk:
Wild it´s called and wild they are! And so was everyone in San Juan where they made these recordings.
Mardi Gras was swinging and everyone was swaying with the mood.
But that spirit is with PHIL MOORE, III and the five other members of THE AFRO-LATIN SOULTET whenever and wherever they play.
And there are MOISES OBLIGACION, conga drummer and ex-member of The Afro Blues Quintet; CHAUNCY LOCKE, trumpeter who stretches back to days with the famed Charlie Parker; VANCE MATLOCK, bass player formerly with Aretha Franklin; LEROY BROOKS, drummer of Curtis Amy fame; and JACK FULKS, the alto sax and flute man who played with Chico Hamilton and the Afro Blues Quintet and who co-composed three of the tunes in this album.
Leader PHIL MOORE is, of course, the pianist. He led his own Latino group when in high school, but it was a long time later, after he had attended the San Francisco Conservatory Of Music and the Burklee School Of Music in Boston, that he visited Puerto Rico and renewed his old acquaintance with Latin music.
He decided there to incorporate its feelings and rhythms with elements of soulful jazz, and so formed THE AFRO-LATIN SOULTET.
That was in 1966, and since then this group has scored to the top in its field. When you hear their sounds you´ll find that´s no surprise!

Cover: excellent (tiny drill-hole upper left corner, partial upper/bottom seam splitting > not bad)
Vinyl: excellent to near mint (plays great without any audible interferences)
This masterpiece combines elements of LATIN SOUL and BOOGALOO with influences of MODAL JAZZ.
It is exciting, wild and surprising - every cut is a winner!!
**As there is no "reserve price"-option on German eBay I had to list this ultra-rare gem for a reasonable higher starting price - thanks for your understanding!
AMAZING MUSIC FOR THE DANCEFLOOR OF ANY JAZZ-CLUB OR LATIN-LOUNGE >> A KILLER!
