This up tempo Latin jazz waltz burns from start to finish. While the rhythm section grooves, the brass and saxes blow a rousing fanfare before the saxes introduce the melody. The trumpets join in to reinforce the melody and heighten the intensity before the fanfare theme returns. The improvised solo section features changes for 1st Alto Sax, 4th Trumpet and 1st Trombone. After the solo section its time to really heat up as each section introduces a new theme and rhythmic figure that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle of a bull fight in progress. The saxes state the melody one more time before the fanfare leads into a short drum solo to culminate the piece.
