   Composers from around the world were tapped for their unique and lasting compositions. Consuelo Velázquez from Mexico wrote Besamé Mucho, the most popular Latin song of the 1930s. She lived, for a time in Guadalajara, Mexico, pictured above.
   Here is a jazz interpretation of songs by Bach, Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein, II, Tchaikovsky and others. Lover, Come Back to Me cooks! The song is based on (Pyotr) Peter Tchaikovsky’s June Barcarolle.
   Dale raises the temperature and tempo as he shows that tempus fugit – or “time flies” can be musical, if you know what you are doing. What a way to end a show!
