Working & Surfing

Mellow evenings the past three nights, by way of recovering from an intense Monday night of wine and food with winemaker Dave Powell of Torbreck Vintners. Tonight after a couple hours of working on a new song, I'm listening to Milton Nascimento's "Clube da Esquina 2"... a total voyage in sound, composition, singing, texture, mood. And surfing on the web, I found that the great Brazilian singer/guitarist/composer Joyce will be coming to L.A. on November 10th, as part of a tour with the great Dori Caymmi. They are performing at the Temple Bar. I will be there early! Finally I'm home for one of these great gigs. I missed Guinga when he played here in May... I was seriously considering flying to NYC on Tuesday, because Milton was playing the Blue Note there. Why isn't someone bringing him here? Well, anyway, I can be happy to see Joyce and Dori Caymmi playing the incredibly beautiful and sophisticated music that they do so well! And soon!
