One of his most popular works from that era was "Samana", an Afro-Latin composition he did for the Stan Kenton Innovations Orchestra, named after his birthplace Samaná in the Dominican Republic.[4] Charlie Barnet and Charlie Spivak [3] Count Basie , Stan Getz , Bob Brookmeyer , Coleman Hawkins , Dizzy Gillespie , Freddie Hubbard , Hank Jones , Mel Lewis , Art Farmer , Urbie Green , and Milt Hinton .

He also wrote music for movies, television, and commercials.[3] Solid State Records .[3] [3] [3]
