Album 13. Kenya - Machito

Afro-Cuban Jazz? I'm starting to think they're making these genres up, but then I listened to it and that's exactly what it is.

The very infectious Caribbean and Latino rhythms do make the over widdly North American jazz they are fused with more bearable. I'm sure if you were in Cuba enjoying a rum based cocktail on a hot and steamy evening this would suit you right down, but sat in my bedroom on a dark and gloomy winters eve it doesn't really work for me.
