Fred Sturm's arrangement of the great Astor Piazzolla tune, Mumuki, both stirs the inner depths of the soul and soars to heights of ecstasy.  It was a real pleasure playing this with the Eastman Jazz Ensemble over a decade ago.  The song's title, Mumuki was both the name of Piazzolla's favoite Dog, and the nickname for his beloved wife.

"Goodbye LA, Hello LA" was written and performed on guitar by Joe Howard with Mark Woodyatt contributing the violin performance and arrangement, which was improvised and recorded in 2 unedited takes.  This is emotive track is a fine example of Mark's ability to tastefully accompany by spontaneously performing live in a studio setting.  Shameless self promotion-   This showcases the musicmagic that manifesrs when he is presented with an unfamiliar piece and is limited to a short confine of time to record and add to an artists track in a tasteful and complimentary manner, challenged with the task of playing in a complimentary way that doesn't take away or overpower the songwriters performance, but highlights it, enhancing the song,   This track was recorded, produced, mixed and mastered on 6/23/13 by the brilliant Eric Ritter at Windmill Agency.  Thanks to Joe Howard for letting me put this up.
