Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on the American fascination with Latin rhythms, the bandleader applies his pristine clarinet tone to lush, heavily orchestrated Mexican standards. The massive string section softens the syncopated percussion, creating an incredibly smooth, cinematic listening experience designed for high-society audiences. The massive commercial success of 'Frenesi' proved that big bands could achieve dominance without relying strictly on hot jazz tempos.
