Every time I see this I'm floored by Danilo's maturity. Unreal phrasing for however old he was- was he even out of Berklee yet?

[nakanevis]

can please someone tell me who composed this song and where it comes from? I tried to google it but it s impossible to find =(

[marthadeotero]

Excellent version of "Seresta", Venezuelan Waltz composed by Haward Levy and Manfredo Fest.

Paquito is the best clarinet player i've ever seen...

The original take of paquito and Michel Camilo is extremely good... Danilo's piano playing is also awfully cool!!

[juancho661]

Impressive, the pianist Be-Bops are said in the right spots..

[0111452]

Manfredo Fest is the author from Brazil!!!

[Forsaken593]

The pianist looks so fucking deluded. And don't give me that "Playing with emotion" bullshit. You can play with emotion and not look like a total asshole at the same time.

@nakanevis

Howard Levy and Marcelo Fest are the authors.

Bela Fleck plays it, and there's a nice version by the Rosenberg Trio as well

@nakanevis the song is Seresta:Samba for Carmen and I believe it was composed by Hank Levy although it is credited to Paquito D'Rivera as well so i suspect he did some of the arranging. It would make sense since paquito plays the clarinet solo and is featured in the tune so he probably had a say in what was written. Hank Levy also did a lot of writing for the kenton band. I think he wrote pegesus for kenton as well.
