Negative Positive
Title: forgotten classic
Review: Released on the Argo label back in the 60's, this latin and bossa nova-flavored release features Gene Shaw on trumpet and the wonderful jazz arrangements of Richard Evans. Gene Shaw, incidentally, was the trumpeter on the Mingus realease, Tiajuana Sketches. This recording has the staying power of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. You can listen to it over and over again without tiring of it. The opening portion of the recording features a suite of five tunes that suggest the atmospheres and rhythms of a latin carnival. Here is where the sultry trumpet of Shaw and the steamy arrangements of Evans blend to form an unfoegwttable listening experience. Available obly in Japan, this tasty disc is worth searching for.
