Pianist Mike Orta

Mike Orta is a Florida resident as well as an Associate Professor and Director of Jazz Performance at Florida International University. This was taped in Poland. Mike takes an inspired and reaching solo, and the whole band is cookin'. Paquito's arrangement of the warhorse "All the Things You Are" is exciting and clever! - PCJ
