Was year of release 1951 or 1952 or 1953, A peraza features on last track called Drume Negrita, a taste of things to follow, but he is not listed on record cover? been away for few weeks, but still playing my latin jazz.

No "Drume Negrita" among this. Paul, would you mind posting more accurate details, especially the LPs issue number and the tracks etc.?

A. Peraza features on last track called Drume Negrita, a taste of things to follow, but he is not listed on record cover?

My Bruyninckx disco identifies George Devens as the vibist on this track, who replaced Tjader.

I had to revise my info on one session:

Cal Tjader (vibraphone, cencerro –1, bongo -1) George Shearing (piano) Jean "Toots" Thielemans (guitar, harmonica -2) Al McKibbon (bass) Bill Clark (drums) Candido Camero -1 (congas) Catalino Rolon -1 (shekeré)

53 S 580 Tempo De Cencerro Part 1 -1 MGM X-1088, MGM 11639, -

53 S 582 Ill Wind MGM 12038, E-3293

53 S 583 A Sinner Kissed An Angel MGM 11677, -

... and have to add another one - it's Tjader, not George Devens:

Cal Tjader (vibraphone, timbales -1) George Shearing (piano) Jean "Toots" Thielemans (guitar) Al McKibbon (bass) Bill Clark (drums) Armando Peraza (congas -1)
