Kicking off, suitably ambitiously, with a fine, Latino-fied version of ‘A Night In Tunisia’, this third disc from the underrated British bandleader and conguero Robin Jones and his re-named Latin Underground (formerly Latin Jazz Sextet) is a solid effort that continues a mission to rework original latin and jazz standards with a fusion of latin, jazz and funk. It's also a disc that rewards repeated listening. The multi-talented septuagenarian should be no stranger to readers of these pages; Jones has worked with everyone from Al Jarreau and Barney Kessel to drummers including Philly Joe Jones, and here his talented long-time crew of drummer Mark Cecil, pianist Chris Kibble and saxophonist Nick Walker are joined by trumpeter Gavin Broom and electric bassist Johnny Gee on the likes of ‘Mambo Inn’ and Ronnie Cuber's ‘Passion Fruit’. The four Walker originals scattered through the track listing work well, no small thanks perhaps to engineer Marc Cecil.
