@uglyguitarman Jazz and Punk are both wonderful forms of expression, while I understand the humor in your observation, don't shrug off simpler, yet equally powerful, forms of music.

Love that version... But question : who died ?

@Robinsonero Look into Raphael Rabello, Baden Powell, and Joao Bosco. there are all Brasilian Music giants.

I love this bosa nova/ samba style guitar, but it is a genera i'm sadly unfamiliar with, but would like to get more into. can anyone suggest any albums for me to dig into?

@Leedysgladstones For wiping his hands. It gets hot in those recording studios, under lights etc.

A family friend who was a huge fan met Laurindo in an airport. After a brief conversation, he noted that Laurindo seemed "down" to which he told the story that a his original recordings had been stolen by a record company...this friend was a bull-dog attorney and got the originals back (for no charge to Laurindo).
He and my mom visited him in LA and had a blast, introducing them to many jazz greats...at 83, mom still has a blast telling of the wonder of it all.
this is amazing. although the announcer does seem to be a bit of a prick...

@uglyguitarman A rock "star" 's goal is celebrity. A musicians goal is music.
