Desmond has the perfect sound for Bossa. <BR/>His alto sounds like a flute at times.<BR/>(I like "Samba Cantina" so much I may record it myself...) His playing is of the highest order--but always understated. Who would risk playing like that now? ;^) "Good Taste" The words seemed stupid when I was 20... Mostly top- flight accompaniment too, except for some of Jim Hall's playing. I'm used to Bossa as played in Brasil, and he avoids the standard ways of playing rhythm guitar. That might be OK, but listen to him at the beginning of Cantina. The guitar drags the entire track down--its basically "non rhythmic". Anyway--this is my favorite solo Desmond. What are some of his best small group solo sessions?<BR/>thanks--Joelswboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650105310272066304noreply@blogger.com
