While improvising tunes at the piano one day in 2009, Carter Pann stumbled upon one that sounded Brazilian or Spanish, very sultry, very patient. The opportunity to flesh out this melody came when Matt Roeder requested a new piece for the Southwest Regional CBDNA Conference. Pann was both intrigued and frightened to write a slow, silky tune for nothing but brass ensemble, and after a bit of orchestrating, he added a saxophone quartet to play lead, as if they were singing with accompanying brass. After adding contrabass and three percussionists it became apparent that Pann had fleshed out a uniquely scored tango hybrid.
