Bob Kindred Quartet - Nights Of Boleros And Blues (2006) [2015 SACD]

Bob Kindred is a great tenor sax player who is consistently underrated and underexposed. Aside from some CDs released by the Mapleshade label, it is not easy to find his leader albums on the market. For this second release from Venus, Kindred and co. decided to do a collection of Latin music, mostly boleros. The brawny and sexy sound of Kindred's tenor is a perfect match for the mysterious and romantic music. The music transports the listener to a steamy bar in a subtropical country in Latin America. One can almost feel the hot and humid air. Japanese pressing.
