	Strings indeed! You are so blessed to play with such great players! Excellent composition, and I feel like the strings are such a great addition to this groove, something unique to my ear. Love the break! Coulda used more flute, but what's there is very tasty! Check out my latest song called Down to the Core

	That flute is really great. Good bass player as well. This is a tight groove, very well played by everyone. Indeed, an original idea, to put strings in these things. Best Denny Check out my latest song called Memphisto

Oh sure, it's LATIN, all right...
...but there is some kind of global passion in this thing...

Those strings have a real Django/Stefan Grappelli gypsy wildness at
times, as do some of the other instruments...

Right from that PERFECT bass line, all the way on through, it's got
everything...The beat's right on, the playing has spirit and fire... AND, you
do a nice job recording these pieces of yours...

	Global passion Thats about right . A passion for music and a thirst to create, thats what keeps me going. Yeah the spirit of grappelli and django lives! Thanks for appreciating the music! --- Those people on stage are making such a noise I can't hear a word you're saying. Check out my latest song called freeash aire ( remix-me )

	Perfect bassline alright! Using live strings and brass in this context is something I haven't heard before, and it took me a little time to get into it (like about 2 seconds!). Excellent playing all round on a very classy piece of music. Is it just me, or is the music getting better here at MJ?? Thanks for this Tatin!

Bassline
Thats Jerry "wahwah" Rivera a veteren of hundreds of recordings since he was a
teenager. There is a style of music called "Charanga" that uses strings and flute
and brass . It was a source of inspiration. I 'm truly happy that you enjoyed this
music!

nice swing
usually not a huge fan of orchestral ensembles for jazz music because the spontaneity and a certain degree of improvisation seem to get diluted or lost in the larger ensembles...i guess i prefer the intimacy and the interaction of the typical jazz trio or quartet arrangements...cool grooves on the bass, flute, piano, and percussion...i guess i like free jazz with no strings attached, except for the ones on the guitar and bass of course

	Prrrrdt! Ai!ahhhhh! & ummm dash to the party Woah this moves, beautiful composition. I love the break to calm, then picked back up with the kicker pace. Great accentuation on the brass. Tequila! Party time now! Thanks! . - Harold

	Awesome Very tight group. Great work on the flute and percussions. Your flute really stands out. Everyone on this track is incredible. I don't often download jazz but I certainly downloaded this. Check out my latest song called CAPTURE THE RAPTURE

	Manic An amazing track which gallops along at an incredible pace - brilliantly performed by all - that string line is quite unusual in this style of music (gives it a bit of a Michael Nyman feel). Hot bass playing and a gorgeous flute line to boot. Thanks for posting KK Check out my latest song called Ye Mariners All

	More than the Sum of its Parts Wonderful integration of the strings, percussion and brass/winds within a flashy Latin context. I also hear the inspiration of Herbie Mann and Jean-Luc Ponty, much to my pleasure. Thank you for a refreshing lift of spirit.

	Sooo big Thanks for commenting on my tune giving me a real treat in finding your amazing music. This is one of the most amazing compositions I've heard. The classic latin drive with the bass, piano and percussion with a layer of fat jazz chording and topped with a generous helping of punctuating strings. Mmmm gooood.
