Took longer than expected to get my live tracks back this time around, but I think it may have been worth the wait.   This is an updated mix, still without fine tuning, with the acoustic flamenco-style guitars.

The guitarist retained most of the prior concept, but added a very cool acoustic solo during the finale (ending) section.  The finale is still a bit open and I’m leaning towards having the horns play backup. Speaking of which, that’s the next step: I’ll be sending this off to the New York Brass musicians now and then we’ll move on to the mixing stage.

Danny from New York has shared the opinion that this tune would be better served with a Spanish-style horns section.   He suggested that we ditch the sax to keep more of a latin vibe; so I decided to try it out by replacing it with a subdued trumpet to get a flavor for where this may be headed. All of the brass you here are merely placeholders, I didn’t fuss with getting the tone dialed in because it’s soon to be replaced with the real thing!
