Gaillard, Jazzbeaux, Mantilla & Allen - Steve Allen's Hip Fables (VIOLET VINYL) |-

Bongo beatnik bliss, ya dig? Here’s four key cats riffin’ on some fab fables. Steve Allen’s plinking the keys, Ray “Watermelon Face” Mantilla’s tappin’ the bongos, congas and other Latin percussion, while king hip Al Jazzbeaux Collins speaks the king’s jive and the legendary Slim Gaillard waxes his way through some way-out translations to Spanglish. It’s a hip & happenin’ hootenanny that’s finally back on a plasticized platter. The tuned in are sure to be high to this jazz. Pressed on a poetic purple platter!
