I miss Gato Barbieri so much that even his more standard Latin jazz fare is more precious than ever. While lacking more of the extreme playing you might expect from his work with Don Cherry, Alan Shorter and others, Barbieri's Latin-inspired music is usually capable of taking Latin American folk styles, songs, and rhythms into interesting directions. This number, a cute song with what sounds like a Brazilian beat, forays into some of Barbieri's famous honking without disrupting the melody.
