    This is the song "Slow hot wind" from the movie "Hatari" with John Wayne. The master Henry Mancini created this. I first heard this song when I was a kid growing up in the 60's. My Mom surely had good taste in music. I must say Dan Fontaine & his orchestra have elevated this classic to another level. The strings represented the wind & the xylophone the mystery of Africa while on safari. The musicians here performing their art have truly captivated their talent & artistry to their craft I commend all of them. Sarah Vaughan & Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 sang an excellent version of the vocals. My heart is soaring now..........

Would be great to get the musician's "take" on playing these old tunes. Good to see them getting introduced to such gems by such an iconic composer.

I’m grateful there are some musicians willing to revive the lush and romantic music of the 60s and 70s, Mancini and Jobim to name just a few. The elegance and grace of your orchestra adds much to the performance. This particular song is very dear to my heart as my husband and I used to dance to it in the kitchen (Mancini version). I sadly lost him a few months ago so this will be forever imprinted on my heart and in my memory. Thank you for this lovely and timeless performance.
