This piece was commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center. It uses flamenco rhythms and requires one cajon, or better yet, two cajons, both familiar with flamenco rhythms. It's possible to have your drummer sit on a cajon and play cajon and drums, depending on the section of the piece they're in. Also, contrabass trombone and contrabass clarinet are optional but wonderful if you are lucky enough to have them.

I've been interviewing the members of my band about their individual approaches to performing my music. These interviews are being streamed for you in your account in 'media shows.' The scores and parts are also in your account as 'downloads.' The interviews should help players and directors understand how to approach the music by tapping the experience of the magnificent musicians who have shaped it to be their own over the years. We will be conducting more and more interviews over time. Additionally, I will soon be recording myself talking about how I rehearse each of these pieces. I will let you know the potential tripping spots and the way to make each piece come alive. I've worked with many groups on this music, and it is very easy for me to now predict the areas that need addressing. I am confident that I can help you bring this music to the highest level with your own group.
