Emanuel K. Rahim & The Kahliqs - Total Submission (1972) [vinyl>flac]

Great session of 70's Latin jazz, featuring some excellent trumpet playing by the great Virgil Jones, and some soprano work by Hugh Brodie. The band has a fairly mysterious origin - but they've got the kind of wonderful warm 70s Latin jazz sound that you'd only find on a rare few records. Tracks include the title cut, "Dorian", and "Al Haqq (The Truth)". A really nice bit of Latin from the 70's, and a solid release all the way through! ~ Dusty Groove, Inc.
