The Feeling That Brought Me Here EP – Safe Space V 02

Heat, swing and cross-cultural rhythms course through the reissued Demasiado Caliente, which means it’s a record that captures Latin jazz at its most joyful and refined. Recorded originally in 1960, it finds vibraphone lines skipping effortlessly over tumbling percussion as Afro-Cuban fire meets West Coast jazz cool. The music moves with persuasion from the sunlit sway of ‘Manila’ to the deep, rolling groove of ‘Tumbao’ and the extended, dance-ready stretch of ‘Cal’s Pal’. Every track reflects a musician fluent in multiple traditions and capable of uniting them into something unique.
