Bassist and band-leader/arranger Art DeCoteau was one of the leading music makers in Trinidad for decades.
Apart from being a successful dance band leader, he also arranged for and backed up many top calypsonians.
Here from his 1978 album "Inaugural", is a sweet up-tempo arrangement of the 1939 Glen Miller hit "Moonlight Serenade".

He was a good friend of mine, we played together with Frankie Francis. I also got some of my early tutoring from him. Was a well learned music arranger.

Beautiful! Just hearing the rhythm section too much--but sweet!
