ALBUM

Swing 'n' Sway (2002)

Released in April 2002, this album sits in the Latin, easy-listening, and jazz territory that Ros worked throughout his career, featuring the big-band Cuban-influenced orchestral sound he perfected over decades. It includes tracks like "Cuban Love Song" and fits naturally alongside the other late-career compilations and studio sets he released around that period.
