Yet Fly or Die II grows more optimistic as it plays, and by the time “nuevo roquero estéreo” rolls around, the album veers to a festive style of Chicago jazz, where the beat locks into a two-stepping rhythm as Branch’s horn soars above it. Nem kell telepíteni semmit, csak a mobilod böngészjében nyisd meg az m. oldalt.
