"Afro Blue" is a jazz standard composed by Mongo Santamaría, perhaps best known in its arrangement by John Coltrane. "Afro Blue" was the first jazz standard built upon a typical African 3:2 cross-rhythm, or hemiola. It has been covered by just about everyone. This mix presents 15 of my favourites. Devoting a mix to one tune - is that crazy? No - because every track is different and everyone is a belter. Judge for yourself.
Tracklist
Playing tracks by Mongo Santamaria, Jungle By Night, Cal Tjader, J-LIFE, Monnette sudler and more.

wow!
I've got the Dee Dee Bridgewater version on my latest effort http://www.mixcloud.com/Nigel_Rampant/the-highest-power/ ! Must listen to this. BTW - anyone can download mixes from Mixcloud by using www.offliberty.com ; )
Phil, I'll send you a copy...
Nice stuff... Can I get a download for my iPod please?
Wow! This has been my most popular mix. There must be a lot of jazz heads out there in cloud land!
Some jazz standards can definitely take this kind of treatment.
I tried the same with "A Love Supreme"
Well done!
