Here's a transcription for Modern Drummer that I did back in 1989, I think you'll enjoy working on this one!

It's Steve Jordan's solo from the title track of the album Casa Loco with the group Eyewitness.

Steve Kahn on Guitar
Anthony Jackson on Bass
Steve Jordan on Drums
Manolo Badrena on Drums/Percussion/Vocals

Program the bass line ostinato in your favorite app to practice over.

What he does in measures 16 thru 24 is pretty amazing.

Solo starts at 07:30.

Bonus!!! A wonderful article written by Matt Phillips with Steve Kahn talking about making this classic album.

"The album is also totally unclassifiable – a ‘fusion’ band playing a blazing surf-rock cover tune (‘Penetration’)? An unhinged Puerto Rican percussionist singing in quasi-Spanish but sounding remarkably like Sting?"

"Setting Up a New Broadway Percussion Book" by Bill Hayes

"When preparing a percussion book for a new Broadway show, we occasionally get the music in advance. That allows us to start our “treasure hunt” early, to have the right sounds ready, and to get a jump on the setup. But often, Broadway is the first appearance of the fully orchestrated show, and we have seen very little before the first rehearsal."

"My Experiences Recording a Broadway Cast Album" by Jared Schonig
