I listened to Desperadoes version which was one of my favorite steel band, and I must say I give this one the thumbs up. Clarity and arrangement superb!
Great music but expected a much sweeter arrangement. Maybe because I sort of listened to this tune so many times arranged by Bradley, played by Desperadoes steelband, an arrangement so hard to beat or equal.

I agree, Ron. I like this arrangement
Raf is also a fine Panorama arranger, and this obviously wasn't a Panorama arrangement.
You can't compare this arrangement with a big band Panorama arrangement, its apples and oranges.
As Raf does in many of his solo performances, this calypso arrangement is in the jazz genre, not in the classical tradition as is most Panorama music.
