Carl Anderson lays a solid foundation on drums while Rob Maletick lends his sultry saxophone to this well-rounded composition. “Hispanica (instrumental)” was written and co-produced by de Mesones who also plays bass on the track, produced and mixed by Christopher Scott Valentine, and mastered by David P. Marchione.
This previously unreleased, instrumental version of Sweetnight features the sultry soprano saxophone and muted trumpet combo of Keith L. Anderson and Rob Zinn. With Arch Thompson on flute, Christopher Valentine on keyboards, Carl Anderson on drums, Curtis McCain on percussion, Mike Gamble on guitar, and Christian de Mesones on electric bass.
