Mostly mainstream session featuring the late Thomas Chapin (an avant-garde NYC fave) on sax. Pieces get into extended bebop-minded spaces that have a retro feel but encompass some dynamite soloing, especially by Chapin. A comfortable jazz-club atmosphere overall.
1- Mid/fast chugging, Gets into some fast chattering sax soloing
2- Scattery and free, mid/fast
3- Slow, happy. More Spanish Harlem than Mexico. Includes some passionate sax from Chapin, with a fancy really fast twist at one point
4- Warmly bluesy and upbeat. Midtempo
5- Slow; gets into an open, mysterious space for the sax solo
