Mango Django

Mango Django is Stephan Dudash's Latin and Gypsy jazz CD released July 26, 2004.

  1. Mango Django Play song - Embodies the concept of this album in both title and style, Latin and Gypsy jazz.
  2. Seduction Play song - Those hips, those eyes . . . go for it, dance!
  3. Groundhog in the Bathtub Play song - Scurrying little feet, slide back down, scurry, slide . . . get the picture? Dedicated to "Clover," our true-to-life groundhog.

  4. My One and Only Love - An absolute classic melody. This arrangement credit goes to my guitar virtuoso buddy, Dave Stone. Love and Thanks.
  5. Cat with a Fiddle Play song - A musical cartoon. Check out my niece's vocal. Lizzie Dudash, you're a star. Thanks to Eddie Mugavero for some lyrical gifts.
      >> Lyrics to "Cat with a Fiddle"
  6. Primary Feathers Play song - This Latin-style melody makes my spirit fly.
  7. Alley of Regrets - Can't heal to it if you don't walk down it.
  8. Toucan Be - A touch of Santana, a touch of Dizzy Gillespie, a touch of Stephane Grappelli. Thanks to Laurie Meachem & Van Manakas for chordal support.
  9. His Tender Love - My song of thanks to our Lord God & Son, Christ Jesus, whose inner urge in me overcame my fears and made this all possible, WOW!
      >> Lyrics to "His Tender Love"
  10. Defective Detective - One of my faves! Sneaky & swingy. Maybe I can sell this one to Jim Carey.
  11. Take Me, Shake Me - Dedicated to all my swing pals from the band BadaBingBadaBoom.
      >> Lyrics to "Take Me, Shake Me"
  12. Mark's Song - Betsy Foster's "Zhivago style" melody, entitled for her husband. I am honored to have this on the album. My title would have been "At Peace". God's peace to all who share this music.
