man, thank you for all the hard work you put into this. i've been a big fan of 70's soul, which grew into a love of jazz, jazz funk, library, soundtracks and all the other genres of that time. recently i've been trying to find out more and more about prog/jazz rock (?) and brazilian music and this is a great tool to help me along. thanks again and keep it up. peace
Que pena
Hi
No posts recently. I hope that all is well.
I have been following the blog for a while. Looking over it again a moment ago I realised how my tastes are changing. I noticed things, such as this, that I had skipped over before.
Please could you repost it? I might ask the same of some of the other posts.
Thanks
I think the most talented musicians are in Brazil they're so talented not only to play soccer if not to create excellent music.
I just love that genre because Jazz is an art form that has grown from its blues origins to draw influences from just about every genre of music there is and that guitarist was the best exponent in 1971. For the beginner, though, it's perhaps best to focus on early swing and learning to improvise. 23jj
