Review: While Lennie Hibbert eventually found fame via a string of reggae releases on labels such as Studio One and Ham Records in the early 1970s, he actually made his recording debut a decade earlier as leader of the short-lived Lennie Herbert Combo. The jazz outfit's one and only album, Moon Light Party, has been something of a must-have for collectors since its' limited 1961 release. Here, it's been reissued for the first time in all its' melodious, sun-kissed glory. With Hibbert's vibraphone playing to the fore, the album's 12 tracks - including quirky covers of "Mack The Knife" and "Islands In The Sun" - effortlessly join the dots between then contemporary U.S jazz, Cuban rhythms, calypso, and what would now be considered lounge music.
