Gene Shaw for Argo from 1965.
First posted at OIR in 2006.
One of my favourite lps this is a real beauty on Argo from 1965. Gene Shaw leads a great group including Charles Stepney on Vibes,Richard Evans on bass and Ed Higgins on piano-it also features Richard Evans as composer and arranger.As the tile suggests it's a series of pieces with a real south of the border flavour which work beautifully.I won't pontificate on about this gem just do yourself a favour and down load it.Highly recommended.
Hard to track down on vinyl I picked this up on a Japanese cd some years ago.Needless to say thats been long deleted.

Excellent LP by one of the lost trumpet talents of the 60's! Gene "Clarence" Shaw played with Mingus, until the big one scared him away, and he fled to Chicago and started recording LPs for Argo. All of the LPs are great, and this one's a rare treat featuring a cool set of compositions and arrangements by Richard Evans that have a groovy Latiny feel to them. Evans plays bass, and Charles Stepney's on vibes. Shaw is stunning throughout, and this set makes you wonder why Mingus didn't come out to Chicago and re-hire him on the spot. Cuts include "Ain't That Soul", "Goin Back Home", "Goin' Downtown", and "Cha Bossa". Tough one to find!

Thanks a lot,
Fer,
Definitely up for this! Many thanks for the share.
thanks for another one!
Well it's new to me,but your recommendation and a swag of people suggest it's well worth it.Thanks a lot.
Great post with Gene Shaw's Carnival Sketches. Shaw's three albums for Argo are all worth hearing -- Dusty Groove recently reissued Breakthrough on CD, but Debut in Blues remains available only on lp. Carnival Sketches is probably the most interesting, one of Richard Evans' most successful ventures. Shaw, of course, is excellent. Mingus once said that Shaw was as good a trumpeter as he had ever heard -- no small praise! Thanks again!
Thanks Bacoso!
Sorry about the pricks. Try not to let it bother you. This is my favorite place on the blogosphere.
Thank you.
Thanks Bacosso. I had one track on an old compilation Essential Argo/Cadet grooves vol 2 (1991). Unfortunately there was no indication of the title of the original LP.
I'm very glad I could eventually listen to the whole album, thanks to you.
Cheers
thank you Bacoso. fantastic lp!

Thank you Bacoso!
Cheers,
To Bacoso and all the wonderful posters, thank you so much. The information and music blogs listed are incredible. As for Shaw's Carnival sketches, I am ready! Outside of the fact that I'm sleep deprived, I will either collapse before it downloads, or save it for the weekend when the brain is communicating with its various parts.
I love Stepney/Evans!
This is simply a true gem. Thanks for sharing with us.
Your blog is inspirational. Keep up!
I really enjoyed this LP, great to hear music which is subtly (but genuinely) different from most of what is commonly available from the 60s.
Thanks as ever

Awesome post as usual.
I'm anxiously awaiting the dwld.
Thank you very mcu.
This is great!!!!!How could it not be in print?And it being a Chi-Town Record it has Eddie Higgins on keys (great guy met him at his home town club Van Dyke in Miami in 2000- He was such talent that after being on a Vee Jay of Lee Morgan "Bu" asked him to join the Jazz Messengers.He knew Blakey and said thanks but I have family and need to stick around" i.e. the word was band got paid after Art's dealer and the band after.Like he got fame with "Haunted Heart" after 35 years in biz.Great LP.
