Features include host Marian McPartland in performance with Latin superstarsPaquito D'Rivera, Arturo Sandoval, Danilo Perez and Tania Maria, and McPartland adds a dash of that Spanish tinge to solo performances of her tunes "Stranger in a Dream" and "With You in Mind." - Originally broadcast Feb. 8, 2011.
