Have no idea if its just marketing for Aldana's recording or what. Most recordings/tunes have titles including my own. In my case, as I said in the liner notes of one of my big band cd's, I had a vibe in mind when I wrote some of the charts but whatever the music evokes and wherever it takes an individual listener is fine with me. I'd actually prefer people to listen first and look at titles later. Its quite possible that a listener will get some emotional response that's completely unrelated to the title. I often title music after I write it.I do know where you're comin' from. Sometimes I feel the kind of explanation of inspiration or intent for instrumental music can be stilted or unnecessary or even just bullshit created by a label. I just listen.
