Very clean collectors copy.

Cover is VG+. The top right corner is cut, otherwise no major flaws.

Vinyl is VG++. Plays great!


Features Billy Wooten on vibes and Jack Gilfoy on drums. Massive break featured on "Road Song" puts this in demand. Rarely turns up so bid accordingly.

On the naptown jazz records label, stereo pressing, catalog # NJ-1001, from 1980.   11 tracks.   very clean original pressing of a very scarce private press gem that incorporates elements of jazz and funk with latin and afro brazilian vibes.   much harder to find than billy wooten's legendary "wooden glass" lp.....out of indianapolis, indiana. 

personnel includes:   billy wooten:  vibraphone, marimba;   royce campbell:  electric guitar;   julius adeniyi:  talking drum, percussions;  steve dokken: electric bass;  jack gilfoy: drums, latin percussions.  

the songs: praises to buraimon atanda adeniyi;   st. thomas ( the sonny rollins classic jazz tune adapted from a west indian folk song);   yeke omo;   the work song  (a killer version of nat adderly's tune with great arrangement featuring billy wooten and royce campbell, communicating with each other via a standard technique called trading fours);   road song (great interpretation of wes montgomery's classic tune with an awesome drum break intro and featuring a funky bass solo by julius adeniyi);  crown royal (much sought after afro/bossa jazz burner);   bambara;   summer light;   naptown blues;   quiessense;   and samba da rio (batucada tune with highly charged rhythms).
