Ari is an unknown quantity at this point
I had to bring this thread up again. I downloaded a version of "blue bossa". The artist name was John Coltrane, but this is definitively not Coltrane.

It has an uptempo latin feel to it, not bossa or samba, more afro-cuban, with a syncopated bass, with percussionists (i can hear timbales and congas). The melody is arranged for several wind instruments (flute, tenor saxophone, trumpet, trombone). After the melody the piano takes a solo (you can also hear him "sing" along while he play), then the fluteist, followed by the saxophonist, then the bass. Then the trumpetist and trombonist take 4 bars each, followed by percussion solos a couple of times.

Does anybody know the name of this band?
