Meg
(solo) First you'll hear Interlude 4, with all the Cuban howling intact... then Brown's trumpet solo... and lastly the dread Interlude 5, a blistering hardbop interlude to get the group out of the solos and back into the melody... remember - LIVE recording.

Meg
by Nick Ali A taste of Brazil.  This uptempo Brazilian Samba was written by Brown over a set of standard chord changes.  A free CD for those (non-musicians!) who can guess the standard.
