back to my Blog

First of all, my apologies to those who have come to visit my blog and have found it terribly outdated...the life of a musician is a busy one, and I always left this part for later - sorry!
I promise to become a more assidous blogger from now on...
Where do I begin? Well, how about the release of my new CD, "Roda Carioca" on Adventure Music? It has been out for a month now, and the feedback has been excellent. People are writing to tell me how much they are enjoying the music, which makes me very proud. It was a labor of love, all recorded in my home town of Rio de Janeiro with soem of my favorite musicians. Now I am going out to support the CD, playing many gigs around the country.
Last week I was in New York City, Oregon (Ashland and Portland) and in the Bay Area ( Larkspur, Felton and Yoshi's in Oakland). I played with different musicians, but the feeling was great as they all interpreted the music in their own personal and brilliant manner.
Now I am back in Seattle, teaching at Cornish College as the semester heads towards the end. Lots of talented students doing their recitals.
I will be commenting on more musical issues as we go...as always, your comments/suggestions are welcome!
Bye,
Jovino
