This is a highly successful British b.n. session. Shake Keane and his group have succeeded superbly in capturing the gentle melodic qualities of the music, and good jazz solos are featured. Keane also shows himself to be a composer of more than average ability, on “Negra” and “Sunday”. There is not quite as much of his superb flugel horn playing as I would like, but this should not deter anyone from obtaining this delightful record.
