[David Murray Latin Big Band.]

Here is a band led by a musical master, David Murray.

If you are in the market for some hot big band jazz played by some of the finest musician's working out of Cuba, I recomend this one. Hot tunes, hot arrangements and hot player's. You can't go wrong with this Earth shaking band.

If you want your socks blown off, check out the tune 'Break out' on Now is another time. WOW!
