Afro-Blues Quintet + 1

A mid-'60s sextet with a Latin edge, the Afro-Blues Quintet Plus One featured a vibes/sax frontline, and a rhythm section augmented by congas and timbales assisting standard piano/bass/drums instrumentation. The group's albums included political and protest pieces, originals, remakes of standards like "Green Dolphin Street," religious/spiritual numbers, soul/jazz and R&B hits, plus some challenging tunes such as "3/4-5/4-7-2." Joe De Aguero on vibes and alto saxophonist/flutist Jack Fulks were principal soloists, with pianist Bill Henderson, bassist Norm Johnson, conga player Moses Obligacion and Michael Davis on drums and timbales completing the lineup. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
