Maputo – Bob James and David Sanborn

One day, when I was a young lad, I remember seeing a commercial for this new radio station in Los Angeles called 94.7 The Wave. There was a song that played on the commercial, the first time I heard it, I feel in love with it. I had to ask my Dad (a frequent jazz listener) what the song was, since there was no logging on to the internet and doing some research on your own in those days lol. He told me that the song was called Maputo. He informed me that not only was it the name of that song, but it was also the name of the capital of Mozambique. I think he told me why the song was named after the capital, but I dont remember that story.

This is still one of my favorite songs of all time! OF ALL TIME!!! word to Kanye lol. The funny thing about this is, I really dont like Contemporary Jazz. But this is still one of my favorite songs.
