YouTube - Corea's Spain by the Bald Bossa Band

roberthd — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:28:07 GMT

Here's a video of our band playing a Chick Corea tune at the Robert's Music Institute in Seattle. The intro is kinda slow but keep watching...it picks up a lot.

This tune took forever to nail down because it's pretty fast and there are tons of breaks. Our drummer and bass player are awesome, the rest of us are just along for the ride.
