Lalo Schifrin

“The Latin Jazz Suite is an inner journey to different landscapes of musical styles and dances, which since my early youth have awakened my interest, both as a performer and as a composer. The dances I have chosen have definite boundaries. My task was to transform them in order to become vehicles for the musical expression of the soloists and the band.” – Lalo
