Chovendo Na Roseira by BarryK

Inspired by David's version of Jobim's "Chovendo na Roseira", I decided to study it. Here is a take from my practice session tonight.

An arrangment is available from:

I played most of it from memory. I think I need to add more double-stops/comping in the left hand when I play the melody in the head.

Suggestions appreciated.

Nos Novo plays Melbourne Jazz fest May 1/looking for instruments in Australia

Time

Hi All-

It's been awhile; lots of exciting things going on around here! I have some fairly exciting news of my own: I'll be appearing at the Melbourne Jazz Festival this May with my band, Nós Novo on the 1st @ Bennett's Lane, and on the 4th with Jo Lawry's quintet. We'd of course love to see any Melbourne/Aussie vibeworkshoppers in attendance... I mean, all are welcome of course, but it's kind of a schlepp for the rest of you!

Phil Kraus

I found this rarity. The legendary New York-based percussionist and studio musician Phil Kraus jamming on a Mallet Kat(!!)with Harry and Harvey Sheppard, Isn't Harry a member of the site? Apparently it was an 80th birthday party for Harry. All three of them trade solos on the electronic mallet instrument. Mr. Kraus is the one with the glasses, dark(still!!) hair and sort of a plaid shirt. This was filmed in Houston, TX, where Mr. Kraus has lived for several years since retiring from the biz.
