Name: Shortcake by Jamie Taylor 40
Duration: 3 min 20 s
Description: Duo performance live in the studio with my long-time friend and wonderful trombonist Kevin Holbrough. It's a lovely tune by J.J. Johnson that Kev introduced me to. Thanks to Steve Parry for his fabulous engineering work here as well. Hopefully we'll get some of these recordings out as an album before very much longer.

Shortcake

Caracoles ushers Orquesta Akokán’s unique brand of mambo into the 21st century. Back at the helm are producer and multi instrumentalist, Jacob Plasse and virtuosic pianist, composer and arranger Michael Eckroth - a collaboration that continues to lead Orquesta’s exploration of the sublime mambo in all its depth and breadth. On this, their third album, they combine talents with Cuban lyricist, singer and composer Kiko Ruiz,  a tata —priest— who informs his lyrics with a  Palo Mayombe spirituality propelling the mambo back to its original meaning.
