Nice post, Pres.

This is just one of those tracks that you could put on any comp/play list and it works – it’s that smokin’.

I can only think of one that I have seen and not bought. But this tune, Windjammer, Heighty-Hi, Hippo Walk are all fantastic.

The record is great. Thanks for the tip on “Serenade to a Savage” by Candido, i need to check that out for sure.

Have you ever heard the track “Serenade to a Savage” by Candido?

It had a similar late 70s latin jazz funk band sound.

There is some cool horns on this song and a pretty heavy groove.
