Here's my 2 cents worth.
Santana's cover of Jobim's Stone Flower (one of my all-time favorites). Outstanding for its flowing, hypnotic samba rythm, poetic lyrics set by Mike Shrieve and Carlos, and superb keyboard interplay between Greg Rolie and Wendy Haas. Compellingly exotic and sensual. Flowers too.

PS. Here's a heads up for the annual Santana birthday tribute on Satelite Radio Bilingue, Sunday July 19th (the eve of Carlos' birthday) 7pm to midnight. I'll serve up another reminder as the date approaches. In the meantime check out the Carnaval Program (www.radiobilingue.org) Sat & Sun nights for great jazz and Latino music.
