Afro Blues Quintet - New Directions In Sound



A great compilation of songs from this vibes heavy group. I knew nothing of this group until I picked up 2 LP's years back, I will get anything with a prominent vibraphone sound on it and was pleasantly surprised by the LP's. Not a funky or even jazzy group as the name may suggest but an almost pop jazz hybrid with some catchy melody throughout. Some of the songs sound a bit playful and some have a great "nightime" feel, with a constant heavy vibe sound going on. I love this disc and play it constantly.

Tracks;
1.Freaks 2.La La La 3.Summertime 4.Let My People Go 5.Jerico 6.Monkey Time 7.Victims Of Chance 8.Some Velvet Morning 9.Spartacus 10.Twilight Thunder 11.Down With Downers 12.Our Mambo 13.3/4-5/4-7/2 14.Candie Luv 15.Pata Pata 16.In Crowd 17.Next Plane To London 18.Southside habit 19.Mirror Image 20.Afro Rock 21.Moses 22.Evening Of The Beast
