 notes:

Soul Fingers captures Morris Nanton at the intersection 
of soul jazz, hard bop and Latin-inflected grooves. 
His relaxed but highly rhythmic piano is supported by the
 long-standing partnership of bassist Norman Edge and 
drummer Al Beldini, with Johnny Murray Jr.'s congas 
adding extra drive. The unusual appearance of 
Pucho & The Latin Soul Brothers on “Troubles Of The World”
 gives the opening track an especially distinctive Latin-soul character.
 Contemporary DownBeat praised the trio while 
noting the contrasting effect of Pucho's appearance.
