Here's our smooth jazz rendition of the classic bolero "Cuando vuelva
a tu lado"

Most of you are probably familiar with the English language version. Want to name the tune? Guess what keyboard? It was done in auto accompaniment mode. Wish I could take credit for the sax work, but that was my amigo Manuel on sax. Enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend!

Sounded really good. Nice pocket and balance of instruments.

Based on the drums and piano, I'd say it's a Yamaha, maybe the Genos?

Thank you for sharing. Great pic too. Youth!

Wow! Great sounds Paul! Your performance on this one surely matches the "uber cool" appearance of the two of you! Manuel did a super job adding very tasty sax work too! Thanks for sharing and ENCORE! rocker

PS - great photo too!

Ah, YES !!! ... What a difference, and "vive la difference" ... Beautifully done ...

I sometimes play this song with a latin rhythm, and then switch to the Disco style with which it was popular in the 70's ...
Thank you

Paul, SWEET. I have to say, you are probably one of the most admired (and envied) members on SZ. That's because you have figured out how to make the music business into a family business. As far as I know, only Russ (Capt Russ) performs routinely with family members. That's got to be one of life's great gifts. Can't sign off without mentioning that great sax player. He reminds me a lot of the guy that plays with my little group (sweet and tasteful). Also, your wife's voice is just perfect for this tune and this arrangement.

Wow, what a really great version. Not going to try and guess which keyboard, too busy listening to the great vocals, sax, and backing.
Didn’t want to try and focus on trying to pick the style, takes away from the enjoyment of listening to a great overall performance.

Ok, so which keyboard was it . Haha
