Afro-Cuban

VINYL FORMAT. Regarded as one of the earliest, most informed mergers of jazz and Afro-Cuban musical influences, trumpeter Kenny Dorham's 1955 Blue Note release features the jazz recording debut of percussionist Carlos 'Patato' Valdés, as well as Cecil Payne, Hank Mobley, Oscar Pettiford and Percy Heath. Exact repro of the original release, featuring tracks "Afrodisia," "Lotus Flower," "Minor's Holiday," "Basheer's Dream," "K.D.'s Motion," "The Villa" and "Venita's Dance."
