New Latin Charts
Here, listed in order of popularity
are the top-selling Latin charts
new this year.
Jazz Ambassadors, this Eric Richards chart shines new
light on the beauty and depth of this classic Beatles hit.
An up-tempo Brazilian groove gives way to hints of
samba and songo, but always with a smooth and laid
back feel. A piano solo is featured off the top followed
by a trio of tenor, trombone and guitar on the head, and later solo space for one or more of these players. A brief nod to
the classical feel of the original Beatles track helps build to a climatic shout for the full ensemble. Nice!
