  1. [video:youtube]5xm3S8vuvjU Vanessa Rodrigues (organ) Ricardo Silveira (guitar) Rafael Barata (drums) In my opinion, the best latin/bossa/samba drummer alive!
  2. True... Besides Tania Maria and Eliane Elias, some other Brazilian musicians that bring houses down outside Brazil but no so much there are Jorge Ben Jor and Ed Motta. Simply love these guys.
  3. Hi there... I have always been lucky to live in places with great music. Brazil has a great history and so many great influences. Heavy African rhythm appeal, lots of different cultures in one place. That helped this colorful salad that is Brazil. Unfortunately, like I always mention, I have to leave Brazil to discover good Brazilian musicians. It's like y'all get the good ones and leave us with the bad stuff. I always remember how ashamed I was that an American had to introduce me to Tania Maria. I cannot believe I grew up in Brazil and in 17 years no one told me about her. Even Eliane Elias. Most of my Brazilian friends do not know her. It's amazing, I know. I grew up in south Brazil, touching a little bit of Uruguay and Argentina. They also have great music there. Gaucho tradition, milongas, accordions, guitars, beautiful stuff. Nice that you mentioned Chicago. That is one great city... I do miss the US. I'm so lucky that I was able to visit and get to know all these amazing places.
  4. Hey guys, I had lots of fun reading about everyone's introduction here. I've been here for a while and never actually took the time to do it before. I guess I'll just do a quick version as well. My name is Gustavo (everyone usually calls me Gus, which is easier and became a lot more popular after BreakingBad). I am originally from Brazil, lived in the US for several years during my college days, and now I moved to Oxford/UK to study and work. I am not a professional musician. I just really really love music and specially improvised popular music. I used to live in a town close to Kansas City, which spoiled me with really good jazz and changed my life for the better. I actually work with programming and teaching. My main field of study is using programming to teach mathematics. When it comes to gear, I don't know much about new stuff... My dream gear is just old acoustic pianos, old electric pianos, and old tonewheel organs. So, yeah... nothing too interesting, but there it is. I have learned so much from this place. Y'all are super nice guys and I really enjoy being a part of the group.
  5. Hal videos reminded me of that Gene Harris + Jack McDuff album...
  6. ^ | that's what I'm talking about!!! Great... NordC1 + MSPro145. Sounds amazing.
  7. That version of "That way it is" is really great!!! I would like to hear drums and bass with that. kudos!!!
