Monday morning, waking up in the middle of Nica’s Dream. It’s Horace Silver’s composition as arranged by Eddie Palmieri, featuring the awesome violin of Regina Carter.

Our Monday Thing

Last night, I was at a screening of  the classic 1971 film Our Latin Thing, showcasing the music of the incredible Fania All-Stars, which time-warped us all to 1970s NYC.

Monday morning is all congas, flute, bass, brass, and joy.

Manteca!
