by The Latin Jazz Quintet & Eric Dolphy

Caribé cover art

Issued by the New Jazz label, this collaboration pairs avant-garde woodwind specialist Eric Dolphy with an established Afro-Cuban ensemble led by vibraphonist Juan Amalbert. The session documents a straightforward integration of bebop phrasing over traditional Latin percussion, predating the widespread commercial bossa nova boom.
