sleeve : VG+(light dirts.)
media : EX+/EX+(some slightly surface noises. still good condition.)
A 1976 leader album by American baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber, who specialized in everything from hard bop to Latin jazz and played with B.B. King and Eric Clapton. He was in a quartet with Barry Harris (p), Sam Jones (b), and Albert Heath (ds). The album features Cuber's passionate brogue that is reminiscent of Gato Barbieri, including A1, composed by Don Raye and Gene De Paul, which became a classic after Charlie Parker played it. A3, an Afro-Cuban jazz tune with a groovy rhythm section full of Latin feeling, is highly recommended.
A1: Star Eyes
A3: Tin Tin Deo
