*** Nettai Tropical Jazz Big Band, “September,” RMM. From an explosive version of the “Mission: Impossible” theme that rivals Lalo Schifrin’s original to a muscular, Latin-inflected take on Juan Tizol and Duke Ellington’s “Caravan,” the 10 numbers here find Carlos Kanno, ex-musical director with salsa combo Orquesta de la Luz, having tremendous fun with an 18-piece band.
