Bitrate: 320 kbps



This CD reissues one of the first percussion-oriented jazz records, although it was preceded two weeks earlier by Art
Blakey's obscure Columbia set Drum Suite.  Blakey enlisted quite a lineup -- the leader, Art Taylor, Jo Jones, and Specs
Wright on drums (with the latter two doubling on timpani); five percussionists; flutist Herbie Mann; pianist Ray Bryant;
and bassist Wendell Marshall.  Mann plays a variety of African wood flutes.  With percussionist Sabu leading the
chanting and taking three vocals (Blakey himself sings a little on "Toffi"), the music is quite
African-oriented and generally holds one's interest, preceding Max Roach's M'Boom by over 20 years.  Mostly for
specialized tastes, this is a set that drummers should consider essential. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG
