Reception
The Allmusic review states "The populist Dizzy Gillespie gets full rein in this lively, happy collection of tunes exploring rhythms and idioms from the Caribbean. Gillespie is in an ebullient mood, even offering some sly lead calypso vocals on three numbers".Ginell, R. S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/jambo-caribe-r139385 Allmusic Review] accessed April 3, 2012
