Subj: [DR-L] Paquito D'Rivera "Aires Tropicales"

Hi everyone,
I am a big fan of latin and brazilian flavored music and am absolutely
enamored with the music of Paquito D'Rivera. His woodwind quintet work, "Aires
Tropicales" is amazing. I have heard it performed many times live and am having the
oppurtunity to perform it myself with my faculty woodwind quintet. Anyway,
has anyone recorded this work commercially? It has become a staple of the
repertoire for quintet and it is odd that no one has recorded it. I have a few live
recordings of it, but would love a commercial recording.
