Nettai Tropical Jazz Big Band

Led by Carlos Kanno of Orquesta de la Luz, the Nettai Tropical Jazz Big Strap began as several friends playing for fun and progressed into an 18-part ensemble. Boasting four percussionists, a three-piece tempo section, and effective horns, the group released their 1st album, Reside in Yokohama, in 1998. That calendar year also saw japan discharge of their follow-up, Sept, that was released in the U.S. the next calendar year. My Favorite implemented in 2000.
