It’s Rob up this week and he kick’s off our twelfth cloudcast with a trio of wonderful Afro Latin records; two new releases from modern-day jazz orchestras and a stone cold classic of a jam from Ray Mantilla. A recent Buddy Sativa excursion and a sought after Raphael gem (reissued on Heavenly Sweetness this year) follow before two killer vocal compositions from Blue Note jazz stalwarts Donald Byrd and Horace Silver round off the spiritual vibe. Brit jazz stars Kit Downes Trio supply the final moments of the mix with “Skip James” from their latest opus “Quiet Tiger”. A sombre number but what a track! Thanks for listening.
