Title: A classic Hancock recording, and his most Latin influenced.
Product review: A unique grouping of players makes magic on this 1963 Hancock classic. With Willie Bobo on drums and timbales, and Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez on conga and bongo, the Latin groove is heavy while Paul Chambers still in his prime holds down a great groove on upright bass. Hancock revels in the freedom that solid groove gives him and excels in both rhythmic comping and soloing. I especially like the 1st tune "Succotash" which has a fascinating 6 over 4 groove, and some unique percussion. Blaine Fallis - Jazz Guide, the Mining Co.
