A masterpiece's release which marks the recorded debut of percussionist Carlos 'Patato' Valdes in jazz.
It is a record admired by every advanced Latin Jazz musical guard ever since.
'Lotus Flower' after a Horace Silver lead, is a delicate-yet-strong piece upon which Dorham and Johnson get you wild.
In 'Minor's Holiday', the Afro-Cuban singularities issuing from the then youthful Valdes's hands keep Oscar Pettiford and Art Blakey happy-as-larks.

Front cover design puts the emphasise on F. Wolff's photograph and the so-many-times imitated Reid Miles's unique drawing touch.
