Hey all, we're back with a full album releasing this week! Very excited to announce that we went to the same studio last fall to record 7 more arrangements from the hand of Michael Mossman, who lead the project again. So if you are vibing to this, check out the latest single releases on our channel. One of the bands favorite arrangements by Mossman was the one on Mongo's "Afro Blue", check that out here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJasz5WTk9Opc9o.html Let us know what you think and if you know some nice places to play live in your area in the comments! And oh yeah, there are again solo's from Andy and Yuliesky again for you to discover... ;)
It's funny how so many Latin tunes have some food theme intertwined in the lyrics. Sofrito, manteca, salsa, azucar, on and on. What can I say, the aromas of spices and tasting of foods are so much a part of our culture. I Love it.

That was beautiful. All you need in life is a little sofrito, that's it. Sprinkle some seasoning into your life, and watch how beautiful it tastes!
This arrangement is very spicy! Bad man on the bone. Trumpet solo crushing it and the percussion with awesome grooves. Thanks

Música para mis oídos, esto si es música!, no el poco de basura de reguettón ese que anda por ahí!.
Very well done, one of the best big bands I’ve seen in awhile. The Trumpet player is very talented on point, blunt yet formal, rapid brogretion in difficulty, and in tune. As well as the Trombonist, I love scale inspired solos, a very classical take on a big band swing set. You don’t see that very much. Overall to everyone, we’ll done!
Andy Hunter on trombone its OUT OF THIS WORLD !
Sabroso con ese sofrito se hace tremendo arroz con habichuelas jajaja saludos desde Puerto Rico

Si bien no podía ir mejor, al minuto 2:30 que entran los saxofones pffff... alcanzó la perfección, que pedazo de músicos.
The conductor gives much life and passion to the band. Absolute virtuoso.
Wow! Great great job, very good interpretation, with bend effects in trumpets and trombons, which really gives life and humanity for this - once again - great interpretation. Tight cohesion and a perfect sound recording, mixing and mastering. We can hear everything, that's just a jewel for my hears. Congratulations, masters, everything is clear and perfectly audible. Thanks a lot for that
I love high trumpet so much goddamn. The lead screamers are awesome

*VERY, VERY GOOD*

I love so much this song
Cuando se decide hacer una nueva version de una pieza musical como SOFRITO del Mongo Santamaria con arreglos de Armen Domelian, productor Marthe Sheleer, con esa constelación de estrellas se corren serios riesgos de siquiera igualarla pues cada interprete de la versión del Mongo son MONSTRUOS, esta salio bien no mas.

For the vocals while the trumpet is soloing you would call that ‘vocal intervention’ think of it like a bass to keep everyone together.

Beautiful rendition and fantastic solos. I love it when the trumpet plays in high up in the stratosphere. Bravo!

Ich habe mit Yulieski neulich gespielt. Und wieder bestätigte sich eine große Erkenntnis. Die Besten sind bescheiden und nett und freundlich. Keine Allüren nichts. Ein netter und symphatischer Kollege. Einfach nur klasse. Die Arroganten unter den Musikern sind mittelmäßig. Jasper van´t Hof genauso bescheiden.
Wow! Makin that trumpet talk!😲😀
Underrated but so good
Juste magnifique
Just on improvisational notes, are those solos based upon harmonic minor scales? Or what are they improvising off of? I hear the same sound in many latin tunes but can never really make it out.
@SharpElevenMusic

They use a few different shades of the minor scales. Mostly harmonic minor, which sounds the most inside. Butalso here and there melodic minor. I've transcribed both solo's and uploaded it on my channel in case you'd want to view the notes. And I'm by the way the alto guy from this recording, the soloist were truely so inspirational I really wanted to check out what they were doing. Such humble and great guys by the way!
