The record
A percussion-heavy summit session led by arranger A.K. Salim, stacking layers of conga, bongo, and timbale against Yusef Lateef's woodwinds and Johnny Coles' trumpet for a hypnotic, Afro-Latin-jazz hybrid rare in the Prestige catalog. Pat Patrick's baritone anchors the horns while a small army of percussionists pushes the date toward ritual trance rather than straight postbop.
