First of all, my profuse thanks to Ezra for inviting me to post here, and for his kind words. It's an honor, especially since I'm in the company of such talented co-bloggers. I'm feeling a little Wayne and Garth about all this ("I'm not worthy!") but I'll try to overcome that.
I wanted to start with a more substantive post but unfortunately I have another project that I need to finish today. So I'll start off with some quickies and get to the meatier stuff later today or tomorrow.
In honor of Ezra's Brazilian travels I thought I'd post some YouTube clips of classic Brazilian jazz, which I love. If a sexier genre of music has ever been invented, I don't know about it.
I'll start with the master, the great Antonio Carlos Jobim, seen here on piano with Joao Gilberto on guitar and vocals. The song is "Chega de saudade (No More Blues)"; English translation of the lyrics can be found here.
