"Brazilian Excursion" is my first release, it was recorded in Dallas on three hot Texas summer afternoons in 2000. I have a long history with this music that goes back many years. During the year 1964 at 11 years of age, I heard a song on the radio that was to have a profound affect on the rest of my life. The song was "The Girl form Ipanema". It featured the soft delicate voice of Astrud Gilberto and the smooth, mellow tenor saxophone of Stan Getz. This music had been developed in Brazil several years earlier and it had just begun to sweep North America. It was called "bossa nova", a hybrid music, produced by combining the rhythms of Brazilian Samba with the harmonies of North American jazz. The result of which was a unique music that was gentle, sophiscated, romantic and subtle, yet intense. It was unlike any music that I had ever heard. Although it would be several years before I began to play, hearing that song on the radio that day so many years ago marked the beginning of my musical interest.Although bossa nova had existed for several years before, it was the 1964 release of "The Girl from Ipanema" that introduced the music to the world at large.The song brought international fame to it's composer Antonio Carlos Jobim (a.k.a.Tom Jobim). The music of Tom Jobim has been adopted by jazz musicians around the world and has become a permanent part of the jazz repertoire. However, in the USA there are only about 20 of Jobim's compositions that are routinely played. Tom Jobim was Brazil's most profilic composer, however many of his compositions have gone unnoticed by North American musicians. And while Jobim and João Gilberto were the most prominent composers and principal architects of the music, there were several other composers that made major contributions to the bossa nova movement and helped define the genre. Composers such as João Donato,Roberto Menescal, Luiz Bonfá, Johnny Alf, Luiz Eça, Durval Ferreira and the Castro-Neves brothers all played major roles in the development of the music. Sadly, most of these composers are largely unknown in the USA but well-known throughout the world."Brazilian Excursion" focuses on the less familiar bossa nova compositions, at least from a North American stand point. However, most of these songs are very popular among bossa nova aficionados around the world. It features songs by some of the aforementioned composers and other major composers such as Marcos Valle and Carlos Lyra. ...
