HutchFan Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 How about some music from Mexican composers like Manuel Ponce, Carlos Chávez, or Silvestre Revueltas ??? Or, if classical doesn't float your boat, how about Los Lobos' La Pistola y El Corazón ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon King Posted May 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 My suggestions (Santana, Antonio Sanchez, and checking “One-eyed Jacks”) plus yours are a great way to celebrate I’m sure. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left out Tower of Power “What is Hip” and Ruby Braff/Dick Hyman “America The Beautiful” and Clark Terry/Oscar Peterson, etc. However, none are in the same league w Brubeck/Mulligan “Compadres” recorded in Mexico. No joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 What a pity there´s no record of Monk playing in Mexico. He did a long interview there, that´s what remained, but the music ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
