Bongo beatnik bliss, ya dig? Here’s four key cats riffin’ on some fab fables. Steve Allen’s plinking the keys, Ray “Watermelon Face” Mantilla’s tappin’ the bongos, congas and other Latin percussion, while king hip Al Jazzbeaux Collins speaks the king’s jive and the legendary Slim Gaillard waxes his way through some way-out translations to Spanglish. It’s a hip & happenin’ hootenanny that’s finally back on a plasticized platter. The tuned in are sure to be high to this jazz. Pressed on a poetic purple platter!

Harper E. ★★★★★

The violet vinyl is a beautiful deep purple that matches the beatnik vibe perfectly, and Steve Allen’s piano work really shines through on this pressing. Ray Mantilla’s congas and bongos come through crisp and clear, making every track feel alive. I’ve had this on repeat since it arrived.

Ruby Y. ★★★☆☆

The bongo and Latin percussion work is lively enough, and the violet vinyl looks sharp on the turntable, but the whole thing feels more like a quirky curio than something I'll spin often. Steve Allen's piano plinking is charming in small doses—after a few tracks, the beatnik shtick wears a bit thin

Ava ★★★☆☆

The vinyl itself is a lovely shade of violet, which is a nice touch for the collection. The music is fun for a minute but honestly feels a bit repetitive after the first side. It’s a decent spin if you’re in the mood for something quirky.
