What Bobby Said

Bobby Paunetto, is one of my biggest musical heroes. He's not with us anymore, but this Latin jazz composer and vibist created some amazing music in the 70s and 80s, lyrical, beautifully complex New York-by-night tunes that I return to over and over again. This tune is my attempt to channel some of that aesthetic, but by all means check him out here on YouTube - you'll find most or all of his stuff here. I'm blessed with the participation of a tribe of wonderful Bay Area musicians, whom I thank from the bottom of my heart.
