Latin percussion w/mandolin, acoustic guitar, sax, flute and vocals. Title track from Kevin Pike's Milton Nascimento Tribute album.

I transformed an instrumental piano composition I wrote in 1999 into a world pop song with a shuffle feel. This arrangement was inspired by Milton Nascimento's Maria, Maria and Lo Borges' Paisagem da Janela. Features a bari sax solo and slide acoustic guitar.

This is an improvisation with Kevin Pike on alto sax and Luigi Waites on drums. Kevin began playing with Luigi in 2004 when he moved to Omaha. Luigi passed away in April of 2010. His impact on the city of Omaha was huge from a musical, cultural and educational standpoint.

John Kotchian plays drums and upright bass on this track, and I jam on the baritone sax and add in some handclaps.

I lay down a funky bari sax line then layer 3 alto saxes on top, plus a drum beat and some real hand claps.
