Ok, so 2 years ago my high school band director (who is no longer at my school) at one point in the year burnt all of us jazz band members a mix CD of a few of the tunes we were doing at the time so we could hear how the tune went, you know.
One of the cuts on the album was of this latin tune we were doing at the time, called "Mambo de Paulo". The group is a big band from the sound of it, and I remember him saying it was recorded at a live concert/festival in Germany (so possibly a German big band). There's crowd noise, so it is live. It's a great tune! Anyway, there are two soloists-- trumpet, followed by tenor sax. The trumpet player plays some slick stuff in his solo, and some high note playing, but then takes a brief break on his last chorus as if he didn't know when to finish. Then the tenor soloist comes in. The tenor player has this incredibly FAT sound on his horn. He never told us the soloists, and even if he did, I can't remember them.
Does anyone (possibly Gary) have a clue as to what group this is and who the tenor saxophonist is? I can try emailing it if you need to hear it.
