The record
A globe-trotting big-band travelogue from Jones's Mercury years, stacked with uncredited talent -- Phil Woods, Sahib Shihab, Jerome Richardson -- plus a percussion bench of Tito Puente, Olatunji, and Patato Valdes adding real Latin and African fire. Slick, cosmopolitan arranging that shows Jones already thinking beyond the jazz orchestra toward pop and film scoring.
