The band got its name from the Haitian dictator Papa Doc Duvallier’s brutal presidential guard that was named “Tonton Macoute”. Their only album is full of jazz-inspired prog rock with long instrumental interplay in even longer tracks. Their music oozes fun and good-natured moods and should please most everyone, even the ones wary of jazz-tinged music, as this is hardly their only inspiration.
The opener “Just Like a Stone” is dominated by flute and el-piano and has a quite relaxed and laidback feel. “Don’t Make Me Cry” is jazzy, early 70?s prog as good as it gets. Lots of cool organ riffs with extended flute/sax/vibe solos. “Flying South in Winter” is an excellent and atmospheric flute-driven instrumental and one of the best tracks on the album. Side 2 opens with the simple but utterly beautiful melodic “Dreams”. It features a tasty arrangement, and the melody is simply just wonderful. “You Make My Jelly Roll” is a piano-driven, bluesy jazz-tune (or jazzy blues?). The two-part closing number “Natural High” is cleverly composed track with several good melodies, riffs and solos. (sakalli.info)
