Thank you so much for listening! Re-imagining tunes in new styles and idioms is one of my favorite things to do, and this one was by far one of the most fun. This iconic tune is a song about joy and love, so what a better setting than that of the amazing Cuban mambo tradition!

Man, all I can say is, "Wow!"
Omg u bought me to tears this has been my favorite since first heard in 76 that was the year I lost my mom now it’s been 47 years only to to find out many years later he wrote this for his mom
OH YES, now that's what I'm talkin about .. Have at it . REAL REAL A PLUS.. Have at it .. Peace. Made my day , oh yeah.. MORE PLEASE, starving for quality music . MORE PLEASE
“did you know that true love ask for nothing” Stevie Wonder one of our greatest song writers, love your arrangement, brilliantly done.
The arrangement, the balanced mix with super transparent sound, every single musician’s performance, the vibe, the tight groove…I could go on and on…👏👏👏
Grandissimo Arrangiamento...da pelle d'oca❤
Amazing arrangement....on the level of the "Caravan" arrangement in the movie "Whiplash." Bravo!!!!!
Thanks, wonderful piece of music!
This arrangement makes me cry - this is one reason why life can be so beautiful!
Wow - Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it!!!
Unfortunately I can only give one like...All the outstanding musicians involved deserve a seperate like. Love the arrangement choices too
THIS ISN'T FUCKN' SALSA...IT'S POLISHED COLLEGE STUDENTS DOING A NICE "POLISHED" RENDITION OF STEVIE WONDER MUSIC....OK? JUST FUCK YOU; & BIG BAND AT BEST
TRY! TELLING MAMBO LEGENDS ORQ. OR SPANISH[NOW DEFUNCT] HARLEM ORQ. THAT THIS IS SALSA, & YHEY'LL THROW YOU A BAG OF NACHO CHIPS....FUCKN' YOUNG PROFESSIONAL LYERS
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
maravilhoso
,,maravilhoso 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They got everything right! Loved the arrangement (and performance), salsa romantica, the salsa conjunto, the modern jazz big band, all the different, excellent vocal textures (loved Vaughn's delivery--so easy and soulful), and the recording, nice harmonic "excursions," all beautifully integrated-perfect! Great sax solo, too. An important achievement considering Stevie Wonder’s songs, like this one, have always had a Afro-Cuban/Latin thing going on, and an arrangement like this brings that latent musical quality to the forefront. Only in America!!
Awesome Drew, super fun arrangement and a room full of crack musicians are the icing on the cake!
God: where were these smoke free jazz & blues clubs in the 60s & 70s when I got into listening to the music?
This song by far is my most favorite composed and sung by Stevie Wonder. This Mambo/Salsa Version is on FIRE!!! I simply love it.
Do love you!!!!All of you are very good indeed! I adore the fantastic quality of your band!!!!! You are marvellous!!!!
Drew Zaremba , thank you and if one day I would have the opportunity to meet you , for sure it will be my pleasure !!!!
My brother is a musician and lives in Flórida and has very good songs too!!!I do love good songs like yours !!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great arrangement and performances by all. Some of the voicings you used for the horns remind me of Gordon Goodwin's work. I especially enjoyed how you used the bari and bass trombone.
Fabulous awesome 👊🇳🇿

Love love LOVE that you used a big band with real instruments and singers!! And I'm now a fan of Tahira Clayton - listening to her reminds me of Nancy Wilson :-) Thanks for writing, recording and posting!
Musicos increibles. Voces priviligiadas, Stevie Wonder fue quien dijo: ! "Si esta música no está entre los Grammys, todos los Gramms que ganado los voy a devolver". Desde ese dia hubo premios Gramy para la música latina ! Gracias Stevie ! ! ! ! !
¡ Cierto !,
así fue la creación de los LATIN GRAMMY,
Gracias a Steve Wonder
Great arrangement with these talented musicians and Vocalist! Absolutely enjoyable! (Bryan Abrahams, Jazz Historian, Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺).

Beautiful rendition girls
I love this song.
It is extremely difficult to choose a favorite Stevie Wonder song. But what is now easy is to choose my favorite arrangement and performance of at Stevie Wonder song - it is absolutely this one!!!!! What an arrangement! What a performance. I am so happy this video popped up in my youtube feed. Thank you so much for this incredible music.
Beautiful arrangement! Vraiment très beau et groovy à la “sauce salsa“! (oui, il fallait l'oser, ce gag-là, mais cette musique donne la pêche…). Marc-Michel, a french "metis-bass" (or "metis double bass") player. But composer and arranger, too and I do appreciate this…
As a drummer addicted to son and salsa, I love this version of one of Stevie's best songs. It's very consistent with the clave, while some arrangers seem to write randomly, as long as it sounds latin. And you master the jazz stuff with these sophisticated chords.
The best of the two worlds.
SMOKIN'!!!
BravoooooO !!!!
Great !!!!
More Music Please
Very beautiful thank you 🙏
THIS IS LIGHTS OUT!!!!! ALL CAPS!!!!
Smokin and sophisticated... WOW!! 👍👍👍
Maravilloso Arreglo, increíbles las voces. Desde Venezuela
