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! 😀
