Dave Brubeck reminiscences

 Twenty years ago, my much missed friends Dave Brubeck and Iola Brubeck sent me a bunch of lead sheets (manuscripts) saying: "Arnaldo, please feel free to add lyrics to any of these tunes." Most of them were new instrumental songs dedicated to Michael Brecker, Roy Hargrove and Joshua Redman. Others had English lyrics by Iola, and they wanted me to write Portuguese lyrics, like I did for "Broadway Bossa Nova". And many other tunes had never been performed nor recorded. This is a real treasure! #davebrubeck #piano #composer #iolabrubeck #michaelbrecker #royhargrove #joshuaredman #davebrubeckquartet #jazz #music #art #culture
