“The Casa Tropical was a club in Oxnard that I played at for five or six years. We performed Latin music with dancing for dancers. After the gig ended, I wrote ‘Saturday Night At The Casa Tropical’ as a farewell to the gig which had been a big part of my life.” Jackie Kelso, guitarist Charlie Myerson and trombonist David Dahlsten are among the soloists on this relatively straight ahead but unpredictable piece.
