Listen to the heartbeat of Africa and South American continents, to the pulsing jazz beat of the most mysterious land, and share the excitement of this, LES BAXTER S thrilling adventure in stereo sound: African and Jungle Jazz.
Les Baxter s music here echoes the basic ceremonial and message patterns of tribes throughout Africa, using the basic rhythms, tribal chants, drums, even the Watusi nanigo rhythms of their ceremonial rites as the beginning for a dozen original, Africa-inspired compositions. In this series of vivid impressions, he employs the talents of some outstanding jazz virtuosos, including Larry Bunker on vibraphone, xylophone, and marimba, Milt Bernhart on trombone, with the great Plas Johnson on tenor. It is all part of the Les Baxter genius for creating the rich, singular, arresting kind of music in AFRICAN JAZZ.
On Jungle Jazz, he captures the teeming, steaming excitement of South America s jungles in twelve of his original compositions. His vibrant orchestrations present the wild, exotic sounds of the primitive forest in striking contrast to singularly arresting jazz interpretations featuring Plas Johnson alternating on tenor sax and alto flute. This is the music of high adventure with a beat exotically presented in a Baxter blend of JUNGLE JAZZ.
