The record
A Latin-tinged date that leans into vibraphone and marimba textures, with Barretto's congas and Ray Barretto's percussion partner Willie Correa keeping the rhythms loose and tropical. Tommy Flanagan and Jimmy Raney add hard-bop polish beneath Leo Wright's flute, making this a warm outlier in the New Jazz catalog.
