Love it... Cool band; instantly recognizable sound. They always play the coolest songs in the chillest way...




YES!!  I gave it a TEN!  Thanx RP!   
That soaring trumpet just slays me. He plays it so effortlessly.

When this song started, my immediate reaction was a WTF!
Then, about 30 seconds into the song, I sat down at the computer with my 16-month-old grandson, and started to gently rock with the beat.  My grandson sat on my lap, totally transfixed for the entire length of the song.  
Turns out my initial reaction was WRONG.  I  would have rated it an "8", but my grandson's reaction convinced me that a "9" rating would be much more appropriate.  
Gotta love RP!!!



yes...that's right.

Unfortunatately I can't seem to enjoy this without the snare.
Wow! 
That's different than I've ever heard Bolero before.
I fricken love it... 
I saw them live at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco with the Symphony behind them...just wow!!
This is fantastic.  Great find, RP.
This just became one of the best versions of the Bolero I've ever listened to. Thank you RP as always. Also, I'm surprised how I missed this Pink Martini cover. Brilliant..

New scenery indeed!  Good stuff.
But "goes nowhere"?   Must respectfully disagree... definitely goes somewhere, nice and slowww.
James Gang version!
A very tasty version.

I remember this was all the rage back in the late 90s (both the band and the track). Love that RP has added it to their playlist

Never enough Bolero!
