Tornado: great composition and arrangement by Oriente Lopez, who plays piano on this track, myself on bass and Mauricio Zottarelli on drums. Recorded January 2008 Adeus America: I had the honor to record it in 2010 with two of the greatest Brazilian groove masters, Cidinho Teixeira on keys and Filo Machado on guitar and vocals. Thanks to Tom Cohen, who plays drums beautifully on this track and made everything happen. Watch out for his upcoming CD! Brecker's solo tribute: I always loved Michael's solos, so i transcribed this one and tried to play along with THE MAN. Almost made it ;-) Centro Habana: composed by Oriente Lopez (piano), featuring Paquito de Rivera on sax. Live at Kean University, May 2001.
