"Afro Blue" is a jazz standard composed by Mongo Santamaría. Mongo Santamaria recorded his composition "Afro Blue" in 1959 when playing with the Cal Tjader Sextet. The first recorded performance was on April 20, 1959, at the Sunset Auditorium in Carmel, California, with Santamaría on percussion.

Does anyone know the year of this gig? I'd guess that this one is recorded earlier than the version from Montreal Jazz festival year 2000, which I think is even better. If you like this you should check it out: ruclips.net/video/G0yJyXsXCtM/видео.html
