This track features vocalist Sofia Rei as well as solos by Manuel Valera, Michael Rodriguez, Andrew Gutauskas, and Jimmy Macbride.

Manuel provides some insights into how his new big band record came to be.

The first single features two Martí poems sung by Camila Meza and features solos by saxophonist Joel Frahm and trumpeter David Smith.

The third single has been added to key playlists on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Tidal.

The album's first single "Manteca," is the featured track on the playlist.

The album features new original compositions by Douglas in devotion to many of today’s greatest composers including Carla Bley, Dizzy Gillespie, Mary Lou Williams, and Franco D’Andrea.

Jim Tuerk wrote some of his thoughts down recently about Spotify and I believe Greenleaf followers will find them interesting and thought-provoking. Enjoy. —Dave Douglas
