Voodoo Suite (Plus Six All-Time Greats)

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Merging the aggressive, screaming brass of the West Coast jazz scene with explosive, highly syncopated Afro-Cuban polyrhythms, this ambitious collaboration centers around an expansive, multi-part Latin jazz suite. The 'King of Mambo' utilizes incredibly dense, ritualistic percussion layers to drive the highly complex, cinematic horn orchestrations arranged by Rogers. The sonically overwhelming, highly dramatic project stands as a wildly successful, heavily stylized peak of the 1950s mambo craze.
