Le Jazz Primitif from Trinidad

Rupert Clemendore and John Buddy Williams COOK01082

Hardly "primitive," this is sophisticated jazz improv "with the Trinidad touch." The musical settings range from smooth lounge jazz with vibes, piano, bass, and drums to funky importations of traditional Venezuelan joropo folk dances into jazz combos.
