Notes from the Music Director 11-21-11

Hello again!

Three noteworthy additions this week:

1. Oscar Peterson "Unmistakable":  Oh, my...this is the single-malt scotch of jazz piano, right up there with Art Tatum.  Yummy, yummy, yummy!

Many thanks to the lovely chap who drives the old Volvo P1800s around town for the following additions to the KRZA music library (although they're not "new releases" per se):

2. Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto, featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim.   For lovers of Brazilian jazz, these names need no introduction, of course.  They are joined by the silken vocals of Astrud Gilberto.  Oh, my...

3. A tasty addition to the Latin library: Los Super Seven, a Tex-Mex ensemble extraordinaire.  This is top-drawer stuff.

(Did I mention that the Volvo P1800 is one of my favorite classic cars?  :-)

I am taking advantage of the absence of rehearsals and will be on vacation for the remainder of this week.  See y'all Monday, and have a great Thanksgiving!
