An excellent album that mixes Latin grooves with heavy Hammond organ -- one of the most unique albums ever recorded by the great Shirley Scott! The session features Shirley's organ backed up by the Latin Jazz Quintet of Juan Amalbert-- a very hip combo that blends together piano, vibes, and percussion -- all with a highly rhythmic approach that really drives the album! The blend of organ and Latin modes was quite unique for the time -- and still sounds pretty darn great today -- and titles include "Mucho Mucho", "Muy Azul", "Tell Me", "The Lady Is A Tramp", and a nice long Latin version of "Walkin". [Dusty Groove]
