Hi,
I tried it and it worked. So did 91 others. Sorry, but I don´t know where the problem is...

Thanks for this rare one from Esquivel. Viva Esquivel. His creativity, demanding orchestrations and intense need to go beyond expectation in the re-creation of standard tunes is amazing.

I'm saying all this BEFORE I've even heard this one!

Now I can, thanks to you!

I wonder if "Strings Aflame" is still available as a two-fer from Bar/None Records. Regardless, I have been told that the CD does not do the tracks justice, you know, soundwise.

Have to recommend another forgotten jazz gem: on "Jazz Sounds of Africa" (released in the 90s) were gathered two albums of around 1960 by Ahmed Abdul-Malik, upright-bass player for Monk and others (he had his own band in the sixties but there aren't a lot of albums, not ot my knowledge at least...)
Amazing stuff, he seamlessly integrates blues, Brazilian music, Arab modes and African percussion on tracks that range from the carnival mood to the dark and sheikly sensuous. And this was long before the advent of world music, a full decade before "Bitches Brew". It's all acoustic and the mere track titles make you wonder: "La Ibkey", "Nights On Saturn", "African Bossa Nova", "Hannibal's Carnivals". I've got a cd copy.
