This remix of “Brisa” is the fully orchestrated version that is a follow-up to the original “easy listening” release of a couple years ago. An “octave up” trumpet lead (in tribute to Don Ellis), plus the addition of trombones, tympani and hand held cymbals give it a symphonic treatment and the “bigness” it deserves. The solos by DC and Richard Dennis remain, along with the masterful audio recording by Bill Degillio.

Brisa Primaverál(EZ Listening)

“GOZO” is a Be-Bop tune played at tempo “furioso”. It is inspired by likes of Bird and Diz and continues with styles from guitarist John Pisano to Brazilian street music.

This tune continues a passion for “Snappy Happy Jazz” ® (‘Alegre Jazz’). Jazz can be serious, it just doesn’t have to sound that way.
