Limbo Carnival is an album by American jazz vibraphonist Dave Pike which was recorded in 1962 for the New Jazz label.[1]

Reception

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Three months after recording the excellent Bossa Nova Carnival, Dave Pike returned to the studio in December 1962 and recorded another fine LP that underscored his interest in world music. But instead of providing another Brazilian-oriented album, the vibist/marimba player opted to explore Caribbean rhythms and melodies".
