A MASTERPIECE! MILTON AND WAYNE!


I just finished listening for the first time in many years,to a masterpiece, "Native Dancer", the incredible collaboration between two masters of contemporary music: Brazilian singer/songwriter Milton Nascimento and probably the best Jazz composer/saxophonist alive today, Wayne Shorter, both performing at their very best. After more than 30 years the music sounds as fresh as if it had been recorded yesterday. Sonically, conceptually and compositionally, it does not get any better than this. Herbie Hancock, Airto, David Amaro and Wagner Tizo also participate. One of my "25 Best Recordings " of all time.

RECOMMENDATION: ROBERT PLANT & ALLISON KRAUSS


This Wednesday, June 25, I will be going to the Santa Barbara County Bowl to hear two great artists live in concert: Robert Plant and Allison Krauss. If you haven't heard their collaborative CD, go get it. Highly recommended! L.

My buddy "Tux" and myself playing...

Introducing my new buddy "tux", who keeps me company at all times while trying to finish composing the music for my next CD. The background beat is a collaboration with my song Adam, done with his MPC. Tux got a little scared at the end...:)
