A girl I met, asked me to compile some Jazz music for her. So I made her a 2 CD mix. She said she likes latin-American rythms and good female voices.

So I decided to make her one CD with some instrumental jazz tracks, some featuring a Latin American theme and all being more of the faster kind. The second CD focuses on vocal Jazz with a few renowned Jazz singers and some stuff I just like.

All of the tunes are of course among my favorite jazz things.

This first CD is the instrumental thing, the second CD with vocal jazz tunes will follow shortly as extra mixtape.
