Plays Afro-Cuban [Translucent Yellow LP]

Vibraphonist Cal Tjader was one of the great pioneers of Latin jazz, the West Coast bandleader who fused cool, swinging jazz with the rhythms of Cuba. Plays Afro-Cuban finds his quintet in that sweet spot, the shimmer of the vibes riding over hand percussion and lithe grooves that still sound fresh today.

This import pressing comes from UK reissue label Poppydisc on translucent yellow vinyl, single LP.
