The Latin groove Lives!
Here’s our version of Dave Grusin’s composition called “Mambo Lido.” His music was the soundtrack for a movie called “Havana” and his blend of jazz and salsa ringed true for me. Check out the percolating piano montuno break with wicked accents coming from the drums and bass — classic sonic move!
This performance is from a livestream concert that we played in September 2024.
It’s included on our album “Hurricane Country — Peter Sprague Plays Grusin & Klugh” now available on all streaming platforms.
Here’s the band:
Peter Sprague — guitar
Danny Green — piano
Justin Grinnell — bass
Duncan Moore — drums
Tripp Sprague — flute
