A musician of many gifts, the undervalued Victor Feldman was a first-rank pianist and vibist, a first-call studio player in Los Angeles (often as a percussionist), and a first-rate arranger and composer. The British-born Feldman (1934-1987) also had a pronounced affinity for various Latin jazz-dance styles, as witness this long-deleted gem. Recorded at a time when fellow vibist Cal Tjader's Afro-Cuban grooves had begun to catch fire, Feldman here leads three ensembles, two quintets plus a ten-piece unit boasting Tjader's stellar percussion section of Willie Bobo, Armando Peraza, and Mongo Santamaria. Essaying a thoroughly danceable program of Latin-flavored standards, mostly from Tin Pan Alley and Hollywood, Feldman, whose bubbling vibraharp is at the forefront, also has some of the West Coast's strongest soloists at his disposal. Of special interest are four previously unissued cuts, wherein Feldman is also heard on piano and the brilliant bassist Scott LaFaro solos twice.

Vibraphonist Victor Feldman's 1959 recording, Latinsville, found the British expatriate exploring various Latin rhythms in a decidedly West Coast style. Featuring an all-star group that included such cool school luminaries as trumpeter Conte Candoli and Frank Rosolino, Feldman also brought in Latin music pros, including percussionists Willie Bobo and Mongo Santamaria, bassist Tony Reyes, and others. Selecting such popular songs of the day as "South of the Border," "Poinciana," and "Lady of Spain" -- most of which never originally specified a Latin-style treatment -- Feldman made explicit each song's implied Latin idiom. Although artists such as vibraphonist Cal Tjader and Dizzy Gillespie had been producing Afro-Cuban and Brazilian-inflected jazz for a few years, the cross pollination didn't really catch on until the '60s. Consequently, Latinsville, while in no way as influential as, say, Getz/Gilberto, is nonetheless a forgotten gem. [The 2003 Fantasy Jazz reissue of Latinsville includes five bonus tracks from the original sessions, two of which feature legendary bassist Scott LaFaro.]

Victor Feldman was a child prodigy who was a professional from the age of seven and sat in on drums with Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band in 1944 when he was ten. He was active in his native England through the bebop years (mostly on drums), debuting as a leader in 1948. By 1952, Feldman was getting better-known for his vibes playing and he recorded extensively during the 1950s. After touring with Woody Herman (1956-1957), he decided to move to the U.S. in 1957, where he worked at the Lighthouse with Howard Rumsey. Feldman recorded (on vibes and piano) for Mode, Contemporary, and Riverside during 1957-1961, a period in which he became a busy studio musician. Feldman was with Cannonball Adderley's Quintet (mostly as a pianist) for six months in 1960-1961 and recorded with Miles Davis in 1963 (who offered him a job with his new quintet and recorded his original "Seven Steps to Heaven"), but remained in L.A. and the studios. He cut jazz dates for Choice, Concord, Palo Alto, and TBA and in the 1980s up until his death he led a soulful crossover group (the Generation Band) that often featured his son, Trevor Feldman, on drums.
