So, today I am putting something up that, chances are, you don't actually have already. This is a rather strange album coming from Dizzy Gillespie, who is known for his bebop and afro-cuban/fusion/whatever moreso than anything else. Jambo Caribe was recorded with a group of dudes from all over the Caribbean and is really more about Caribbean music than it is about Jazz. Playful lyrics and odd instrumentation make for light moments, but there are serious breaks of intense bop as well so yeah theres some cool stuff going on. Checkit.
