4.0 out of 5 stars One long very exciting track worth getting whole album for, April 10, 2008
By 
This review is from: Afro-Cuban Influence (Audio CD)
The only reason to get this album is for the Wuayacanjanga suite.The other tracks are a mainstream commercial jazz that rightly never made Shorty Rogers too famous.It's hard to find afro-cuban type music that got recorded. I don't know what happens to those guys in a recording studio where they seem to loose all their juices.But Wuayacanjanga snuck it's way onto this obscure album.Wonderful african vocals anticipate deep solid drums then afro-cuban which moves into fusing with a big band sound that eventually takes over,insisting on the prevailing melody theme.The big- band jazz sound gives the afro-cuban one greater sophisicated scope while the afro-cuban keeps the jazz's feet on the ground against becoming too flashy.This is great one for turning a soiree into a party as the drums under-lining the suites are mesmerisingly dancable.

This review is from: Afro-Cuban Influence (Audio CD)
I bought this as a record years and years ago. Seeing that it came out in 1958, I have probably owned it for over 40 years. I'll probably never pull out the record again so I'm getting the CD. It's a favorite album that belongs in my regularly listening collection.
