Description

A really unique little record from Herbie Hancock one thats almost completely improvised over Latin percussion! The setup is quite spare and quite different than Herbies other Blue Note work and the group features improvised backgrounds by bassist Paul Chambers and 2 Latin percussionists, Willie Bobo and Osvaldo Chihuahau Martinez. Herbie only wrote simple sketches for the songs on the album, and most of the work on the tracks was done live, spontaneously, in the studio creating a very free groove that never goes too far out, but which is far more adventurous than usual. All tracks are long, and titles include Succotash, Triangle, and Mimosa.
