DJ Catalist - Everybody

cover/interpolation of the Bronislaw Kaper song... a jazz standard turned into a hip-hop/brazilian/jazz vocal tune...  the incomparable Sacha Williamson on vocals, Alonzo on BG vocals, David Leitman on keys..   Special 7" version coming very soon on WAH WAH 45s!  Vocal / Instrumental versions... keep your eyes out for that!
