HOW ABOUT A LITTLE SHIRLEY HORN - SOMEONE TO LIGHT UP MY LIFE

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE DAVID BENOIT BOSSA?

HOW ABOUT A COUPLE OF VERSIONS OF "SO MANY STARS"?

The original was written and performed by Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66. So here are two versions. It showed up on my Shuffle tonight - a wonderful version by Kurt Elling. So use it as your lullaby tonight - it's a beautiful song.

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE STACY KENT? A BIT OF BOSSA NOVA

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE HOT CAL TJADER ON A COLD NIGHT?

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE CAL TJADER - MORNING

BEBEL GILBERTO - TRANQUILO

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD THIS?

CAL TJADER - SHOSHONA - SURE TO GET YOU OUT OF THE DOLDRUMS

NANNI BYL SINGS "LIKE A LOVER"

This song makes me feel so happy. Brasil 66 recorded it first, I think, and that should be somewhere among the blog entries but way back. Use the search bar.

DAVE GRUSIN - A REAL TREAT ANYTIME...GOODNIGHT ALL! SEE YOU TOMORROW!

I love this - I think you will, too.

So much a favorite is this that I'm adding another version of the man at work. Love that sax player!

ONCE I LOVED - THE PRETTY BOSSA FROM JOE HENDERSON

I know I need some music - maybe you do too. Thanks, Pam Geller for suggesting this on your blog.

Cal Tjader - Speak Low - 1 version with Carmen McCrae

Cold feet, hot music.

Cal Tjader - Speak Low, Meditacao

Cold feet, hot music.

You can tell I love Latin jazz, can't you?

How about a little Carlos Santana to top off the evening?
