Herbie Hancock
's "Watermelon Man" was a gigantic hit for
Mongo Santamaria
in 1962, doing for him in the '60s what
Perez Prado
's big mambo hits did for him in the '50s. Naturally, then, the follow-up LP to the single is devoted to 12 airplay-length tracks loaded with bright, swinging Latin cha-chas and mambo rhythms mixed with blues, soul, and jazz, presumably suitable for twisting the night away.
Rodgers Grant
's piano supplies a good deal of the harmonic foundation of jazz, with the help of an occasional jazz solo from saxes
Pat Patrick
and
Bobby Capers
, while
Marty Sheller
's commanding party-time trumpet rides above
Santamaria
's thundering congas. In this setting, even the venerable "The Peanut Vendor" is brought right up to date. ~ Richard S. Ginell
