Rarely
does a piece turn up like
this one. Although
written for Stan Kenton
(the mid-1950s), the
chart never was recorded
by the band (Holman
doesn't know why), and it
was lost for years. It is
a sensational piece,
combining Afro-Cuban
rhythm (Latin) and Swing,
and featuring solo space
for tenor sax, trumpet
and drums. It utilizes
counterpoint between the
wind sections over a
Latin vamp and explores
the perfect balance
between counterpoint and
dynamic ensemble writing
in the Swing sections.
This is Holman at his
very best! 5-5-5-4.
