One of our favorite albums ever from the great Clare Fischer - and one of the first to really show his special talents at their best! The sound here is a wonderful blend of jazz, Latin, and Brazilian modes - and in addition to piano, Clare plays plenty of organ on the date - which bristles with this cool, clear sound amidst larger backdrops that have a very driving feel! There's lots of percussive energy at the bottom of the bigger group tracks - thanks to work from Latin percussionists Carlos Vidal, Cuco Martinez, Chino Valdes, and Rudy Calzado - and some of the other cuts feature a smaller group, but still with lots of great percussion! Clare's organ has this feel that's very different than the usual Hammond jazz style - and really sounds great throughout - on a batch of tracks that includes a key reading of his classic "Morning" - plus the cuts "Manteca", "Favela", "Afro Blue", "Dulzura", and "Negrita".
