Tony Scott- Manteca

Tony Scott’s Manteca is a document of restless invention, where bebop clarinet meets Latin percussion in a swirl of global influences, recorded in Sweden but steeped in the feverish energy of mid-century New York. A new audiophile reissue by Free Flow Archive restores the album’s full sonic depth, letting Scott’s expressive phrasing and the crackling interplay with his bass and percussion shine with fresh urgency.
