Saturday Sounds - Chicago Jazz Philharmonic - Havana Blue (Live)

For this week's musical treat, we're back to jazz with a lovely album by a group with the unwieldly name of Orbert Davis' Chicago Jazz Philharmonic Chamber Ensemble. This is another find from SiriusXM; I was struck by the song "Sabor" and had to find more by the group. There isn't much, two albums: Havana Blue (Live) which contains "Sabor" and The Chicago River, which is a tribute to, you guessed it,  The Chicago River. Of the two, I prefer Havana Blue (Live). 

As you might guess from the group's name and the album's title, this big band orchestral jazz with a Latin flavour. It's quite lovely and is now on my Spotify jazz playlist.
