No, it's all right, I've eventually found some of the tracks. As I can see, it's not jazz, but boogaloo from the second part of the 1960's, a mix of Anglicized Latin music with R&B, mambo and rock & roll. A major hit was "Watermelon Man" by Mongo Santamaria in 1963, which by the way is a jazz standard written by legendary pianist Herbie Hancock for his debut album Takin' Off (1962). Nice anyway, thank you for bringing it here.

Have a great weekend! 😀

You as well. I am not always going to blog pure jazz stuff. I like a lot of 60's rock and R&B and Blues as well. I am trying to stick with what I think are some of the best offerings from these genres. I'm sure there are certain types of jazz purists that would be offended by my Lou Donaldson post and call it rock/funk. Others might think that Pharaoh Sanders is just noise. Some people think Hancock sold out with Watermelon Man and Cannonball as well with Mercy, Mercy, Mercy. Not me, if it works for me I don't care which box or combination of boxes it comes from. I appreciate your posts and input.
