Excellent session Patrick 👍
My fav Tony Allen 🍷🎧🐾
Glad you liked it, Zvonimir, and thanks for listening!
Classics! I first heard Salt Peanuts and Night In Tunisia on the great An Electrifying Evening with the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet album (one of the first jazz albums I owned), before hearing earlier versions. Love the Tony Allen - cheers, Patrick!
Looked that album up and was interested to find Lalo Schifrin on the piano. Glad you enjoyed this, Simon, and cheers to you!
