I sincerely thank all the musicians who participated in this project, and especially my teacher and friend Osvaldo Suarez who helps me with the capricious notes.

This is an album of pure modern Latin music.

"...When Duke Ellington meets Tito Puente...!": this could be the perfect slogan for this recording project.
Alejandro Saorin Martinez proposes some of the most famous jazz standards of all time, completely rearranged by him for a Latin Jazz Big Band, mixing swing with Latin rhythms. And he sings the lyrics he himself translated into his language, Spanish.
A spectacular and surprising project, a must-have for great music lovers' collections.

This project was first proposed by VELUT LUNA in the "physical format of the future", namely a 4GB USB Pendrive (link > https://www.referencemusicstore.com/product/23241482/mano-sucias-alejandro-s-martinez-and-the-latin-jazz-big-band-hd-files-pendrive-usb) which contains:
- linear PCM master files 88.2kHz/24bit
- pdf and jpg files containing technical notes, original lyrics in Spanish and photographic images of the musicians
- an exclusive video interview with Martinez explaining in detail the individual tracks of the project, in particular the inspirational sources and the musical structure; video in MP4 HD format
