This is a particularly lively and jazzy rendition of Si Me Dan Pasteles, aguinaldo music of Puerto Rico that was the basis for Moreau de Gottschalk's Souvenir de Porto Rico, Marche des Gibaros. The drummer is especially impressive here, breathing vitality into a classic. The clarinetist's solo is also striking, almost sounding like the "jungle" style of older jazz and a bit like Benny Goodman.
