About this item
Recorded by the Third Coast Jazz Orchestra, this Latin-swing chart features a quintet as the nucleus of the big band. Solo space for trumpet, tenor, piano and drums showcases each player on rather challenging changes. The piano solo is entirely in the swing style, while the trumpet and tenor solos move between Latin and swing feels.
