Comments

Inside The Groove

Nice Afro-Cuban album, performed by native Cuban musicians, supervised by Irv Price.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

This album consists of literally “Afro-Cuban Jazz” in every respect. All musicians are native Cuban and Haitian, and they are very talented players as heard on this LP. We can fully enjoy the best example of fine blend of Bop Jazz and Afro-Cuban music. A nice album.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

8 out of 10
