Crowd-pleaser concert, admittedly cheesy but flashing some athletic displays of musicianship (2,3) and some showboating that, yeah, I willingly ate up (4,6). The sappy tracks get truly awful, though, and are enough to keep this one out of rotation. When I rule the world, all string synthesizers will be banned (5,7,8).

You've got some great musicians here mired in a Disneyfied swamp. Avoid the treacle and go for the faster tracks.

1- Fast tumbling Latin jazz
2- Funky and mid/fast, w/vocals. Breaks into fast fast fast bebop for some impressive solos. Includes a long spoken intro.
3- Fast trumpet attack right off the bat; great sax solo too.
4- Showboating vocalese for 4+ minutes (admittedly fun), then a Latin percussion break and some intense trumpet blowing
5- Slow, romantic. Godawful string synths
6- Lots of fast athletic piano. Starts w/melodramatic solo, then Latin-tinged cocktail jazz.
7- Gruesome, sappy, unbearable.
8- Upside: Midtempo Cuban/Latin with chanted vocals. The downside: unnecessary synths, an overly guitar-hero guitar solo, and an embarrassing, cheesy solo from Sandoval. Pass.
