Afro Blue Quintet Plus One ''Guantanamera''

The Afro Blues Quintet had been put together in 1963 by the Joseph DeAguero, also known as "Little Joe". His role in the group was as leader, vibes player and, for that gospel flavour, a bit of tambourine. The original saxophone player was Jack Fulks, who had studied at UCL and had previously played with Chico Hamilton. Pianist Bill Henderson also played bass, drums, flute and vibes. His professional experience had been with Terry Gibbs. At the time of their signing they were using a percussion player, Bill Fitch, who had been a member of the bands of Tito Puente and Cal Tjader when based on the East coast. The original drummer was Jim Keltner, who had played with the pop act Gary Lewis and the Playboys, and later went on to become one of the most popular session drummers of the late 60s and 70s.
