0:35 Looks like Mario Bauza, center of the sax section on alto (instead of his usual trumpet)....2:20 Definitely Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham on plunger-muted trumpet. Cheatham played with Bauza in the Cab Calloway Orchestras of the 1930's.

@@waldolydecker8118 Awesome. Thank you! Can I asume that’s Ubaldo Nieto, José Mangual and Vidal on percussion?

The great jamaican Leslie Johnakins on the baritone sax, yes, Mario Bauza on alto sax, (his original instrument in Cuba); "Chocolate" and "Doc" Cheatham on the Tp solos; the percussion line does not look familiar to me, definitely, not Mangual and "Uba" Nieto in it.

This song is amazing! Does anyone know the name?
