Pan-Jazz Improvisations is the ultimate expression of some of the most famous jazz, calypso and steelband compositions, played by two steelpan virtuosos from Trinidad and Tobago, Rudy Smith and Annise Hadeed. Pianist Felix Roach and his acoustic jazz ensemble provide accompaniment. The album contains all of the ingredients necessary for good acoustic jazz-improvisation, syncopated rhythms, contrapuntal ensemble playing and the special melodic features peculiar to the style of each artiste.
