Spain
here’s a little gem that i stumbled across while wandering around youtube.
the first place Kirsten and I went to try and find me some work while in Mexico was a latin jazz jam session at a beach bar called Cuates Y Cuetes. This place is owned by a wonderful woman and avid music fan named Esther(or Tete) and her husband jazz saxophonist Martin Montenegro...anyway, they became good friends of mine as i continued to haunt their session while scrambling for gigs and brought all of our visitors there for drinks and general beachside hangmanship.
they do this thing where they host a few big concerts a year where they rent a big stage and go all out on the sound system and they feature mostly latin jazz and fusion, so they invited julio and i to play…and they also invited Memo Suarez to play with us as well. This would have been fine if we had stuck to more familiar repetoire, but we really wanted to play Spain. So, if you can get past poor Memo trying to hang on while we drag him through this tune here it is:
I had a lot of fun this day. I LOVE CUATES Y CUETES. it was my Mexican cheers.
