The prototypical Mardi Gras "Black Indian" song. A song as exciting & diverse as New Orleans itself.

Killer New Orleans r&b with a great piano line supplied by none other than Mac Rebbenack (Dr. John).

Beautiful summery easy-bossa arrangement of this Villa-Lobos orchestral piece. The tempo floats along at a lazy pace, augmented by gorgeous piano and flute solos, then comes to an abrupt end with a very cool bass riff. Apparently, Schifrin recorded another version of this song in 1996 on the "Gillespiana" album, and that features Karlheinz Stockhausen's son Markus playing trumpet!
