Larry
Calland
has made a name for his Conga Jazz ensemble by laying down
as strong a groove as you'll find on the Midwestern jazz scene.
The 1999 release of Spirit, the first Conga Jazz album,
confirmed what fans at live performances knew all along: This
band knows how to get a room moving and grooving.
Recorded
live at the Jazz
Kitchen in Indianapolis
on June 4, 1999
