5. The Latin Side of John Coltrane
The world will never pay enough homage to the music of John Coltrane. Having his music translated into the Latin idiom isn't a huge stretch, considering that many of his tunes had strong Afro-Cuban roots.
This is the beginning of a concerted effort by Herwig to re-cast the music from a number of trend setting recordings from Jazzs Golden Age in the 1950s and 1960s into Latin Jazz as a way of allowing the listener to hear this music from a fresh and different perspective.

Trumpeter, bandleader and composer
Interpreting Miles' music through an Afro-Cuban/Afro-Caribbean prism was not only an inspired concept, it was also a personally rewarding experience for the band leader. "The thing I feel really blessed about with this project is that all the musicians who played on it are people that I've known and musicians that I've performed with for years," says Herwig.

There never has been any question about the musical virtuosity of Herbie Hancock .Whether as a pianist, composer, or arranger; he has been a force in jazz music.
Herwig had an overabundance
of Hancock compositions from
which to chose, his preference was
for the earlier periods in Hancocks
career.
