VAMPI 008CD
|
2002 release. Renowned percussionist Emil Richards (who has worked with George Shearing, Frank Sinatra, Nelson Riddle, and Judy Garland -- to name but a few) creates a beautiful Latin-charged, Afro-Cuban sound with other notable musicians. Musicians include Al Mckibbon on bass, who also played and recorded with Thelonious Monks, Charlie Parker and Cal Tjader to name a few; Paul Moer on piano, responsible for his moody keys on his Stan Getz recordings; Francisco Aquabella on conga, who knows the deep African feel through his collaborations with Tito Puente, Perez Prado and Rene Bloch. A truly unique, wonderful album that is a classic from the original exotica era.
