  The title refers to the somewhat "mystical" style of the opening of this wonderful and fun-filled chart.
|
As recorded by Count Basie on the Roulette LP (Vogue CD) The Legend, this is an up-tempo latin and swing chart.
|
This extraordinarily popular Metheny/Mays composition is arranged by Bob Curnow, adding to his many successful arrangements of music from the Pat Metheny Group recordings (49 and counting!). The original style/feel is maintained for the most part. 5-4-4-4

Bob Curnow took Ken Hanna's wonderful, latin, medium-tempo tune and made it a bit more accessible for good bands.
|
Latin spice, hot sounds, and a happy, cookin' tune that sails along.
|
Rarely does a piece turn up like this one.

Kenton had many hits over the years, and this very creative arrangement by Pete was one of them.
|
This is a dazzling arrangement of the great jazz standard. With a mix of Latin and swing, Les has created a special setting of this favorite of jazz players.
|
Johnny Richards wrote this gorgeous melody as part of the incomparable Stan Kenton "Cuban Fire" CD, and now this version allows the music to be performed without all of the usual high trumpet and complex rhythms of the Stan Kenton Orchestra recording.

Patty Darling takes us on a Latin Rock pilgrimage in 3/4 time with the occasional 4/4 and 5/4 meters in this exciting new composition that was commissioned by Lawrence University for the Fred Sturm Jazz Celebration Weekend.
|
This is a new edition (Finale computer notation) of this lovely bossa nova tune.
|
Richards wrote this piece some years after writing the Cuban Fire Suite, but it is written very much in that vein (although it is much easier to play).

Winner of the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition.

An absolutely stunning feature for flugelhorn and piano!! The great bassist Ray Brown wrote this gorgeous bossa/ballad, and Geoff Keezer gave it his special, inventive touch.
