Listening to Pete Smith's stream from Cleethorpes in 75 and Zola comes on.I've read Snowboys book on the UK Jazz dance scene and what was played where.Was this played before Gil Scott Heron-The Bottle.?.....I think it's a totally out there instrumental and goes into a straight descarga(freeform) in the middle.Were there any more records like this played back in the "golden age" and who was responsible for breaking it?

Someone played this at the last Kings Hall, first time I've heard it for many a year!

Ray Barretto 'El Watusi' maybe?

Always much too fast to comfortably dance to for many, so it was often a floor clearer.

However all the really athletically inclined needed a record like this to show off their superior dancing skills, thus this record gave 'em the room to do it!
