Clemendore, Rupert/john Buddy Williams
Le Jazz Primitif From Trinidad
Originally released in 1961 on the Cook Laboratories label, Le Jazz Primitif From Trinidad is an extraordinary example of the jazz scene on this West Indies isle. Side A features a group led by Rupert Clemendore, an amazing drummer, percussionist, and vibes player, covering territory from American Jazz and R&B, to Calypso. Side B, led by bassist John Buddy Williams is more straight forward Calypso though it is not without Jazz and R&B influences. An incredible LP showcasing the diversity of the fruitful Trinidadian musical scene of the mid 20th century. Lovingly reissued in a perfect replica of the original Cook jacket.
