Un Cafecito - Dennis Llinás

Un Cafecito for band by Dennis Llinás. Performed by the Band of the Golden West under the direction of Staff Sergeant Chester Howard at Central Kitsap Performing Arts Center on May 11th, 2024.
From the composer:
"The phrase 'Un Cafecito' means a little coffee. Growing up in Miami in our Cuban culture, it was customary for co-workers to bring to work an 8 oz cup filled with Cuban coffee (basically really strong and sweet espresso) and tiny shot cups. At certain points in the day, they would approach colleagues and pour a quick shot for them accompanied with the phrase, '¿Quieres un cafecito?' translating to 'Do you want some coffee?' Needless to say after that shot, you were ready for another few hours of daily activity."

By far the best recording of this piece out there. Bravo!

[@add-em]

those bones at 0:50 are just "chef's kiss"

[@hasanmelhem1113]

The fact that 4 trombonists can play the part so well and be able to project as much as they did just makes it so much better as well. Props to bass bone as well :)

[@DrewSmith-pm6ci]

:50 needs to be turned into a DCI trombone feature

[@SaxandRelax]

Agreed

[@fearful6202]

That bass bone part is 🔥🔥

[@saxefoner]

Every good band should have this in the library.

Finally, a good recording that wasn’t TMEA 5A All State. And btw, Trombones at 0:50, as just 4 trombones, sounded just as powerful as the absolute UNIT that was the 5A group. That is excellence. Bravo!

[@poopybuthead-u2e]

Haha yeah I was in the clarinet section that year and I totally agree

[@garzaedu]

This is the best recording of this piece I’ve heard.

[@icedayrit4879]

YEAH BASSOON TAG, also props to the bassbone

[@NACBrass]

0:50 that tenor sax having the time of his life listening to those bones crank

[@florian-249]

This is the best version of this song that I've heard, even though the brass solos could have been even more powerful.
