Afro-Blues Quintet + 1

A mid-’60s sextet using a Latin advantage, the Afro-Blues Quintet + 1 featured a vibes/sax front series and a tempo section augmented by congas and timbales assisting the typical piano/bass/drums instrumentation. The group’s albums included politics and protest parts, originals, remakes of criteria like “Green Dolphin Road,” spiritual/spiritual numbers, spirit/jazz and R&B strikes, plus some complicated tunes such as for example “3/4-5/4-7-2.” Joe De Aguero on vibes and alto saxophonist/flutist Jack port Fulks were the main soloists, with pianist Costs Henderson, bassist Norm Johnson, conga participant Moses Obligacion, and Michael Davis on drums and timbales completing the lineup.
