Caribbean Suite

Temporarily Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 360486) RCA (Spain), 1966 -- Condition: New Copy

An incredible album -- and a real surprise in the catalog of Harold Vick, one of those players who just gets hipper the more you listen to him! Harold's working here with a really great group that includes Bobby Hutcherson, Blue Mitchell, Montego Joe, Walter Booker, and Mickey Roker -- all of whom perform the extended "Carribean Suite", a long Latin-tinged piece written by Kenny Graham -- the famous 50s British leader who's work with Afro-Cuban jazz was as important to the London scene as the work of Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo was to that of New York! The album's filled with fire and some very unusual twists -- and titles include "Letitia", "Dance Of The Zombies", "Haitian Ritual", "Beguine", "Mango Walk", "Bongo Chant", and "Wha Hupp'n".  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
