Contreras, Tino – “El Jazz Mexicano De Tino Contreras” – [Jazzman]

Tino Contreras is a fine jazz percussionist from Mexico. This release samples many albums from his six decades of work. Varies from great 1950′s cool bop to some pieces with psych influence, even a reminder of Sun Ra (track 15), includes 4 tracks from a jazz mass. If you have never associated great jazz with Mexico, you will now.
