This is great. Leny is a master.

I had the pleasure of seeing her perform with Trio Da Paz over the
summer, in Healdsburg California.

She came out and started scatting a slow groove. The drummer, Duduka,
joined her. Then she says Bb, and the bass and guitar start vamping on
a Bb chord. She scatting the groove, the band is on it exactly as she
sang it. But, it was clear that the trio had no idea of what song she
was going to sing. The tension builds and then she goes into the first
three notes of Wave, the band goes with her. It was a great, smoky
slow version.


Thanks for posting.

Anyone care to respond with a bit of history/tradition as to what sorts
of jazz tend to get played on nylon string guitars (and not archtops or
whatever else)?

Thanks in advance, and great clip - thanks for that.

In the US, I guess Charlie Byrd was first to become well known. He was
well known for Bossa Nova and some straight ahead. Generally softer,
less aggressive sounds.

Then, Earl Klugh. I don't know his music well enough to characterize
it.

There's always been a strong nylon tradition in Brazil and plenty of
cross pollination. I'd suggest listening to Chico Pinheiro (who also
plays a 175). Chico, who lives in Sao Paulo and who graduated Berklee,
can play anything on either nylon or steel.

"Brazilian-jazz". Bola-sete, Luis Bonfa, Baden, Helio Delmiro, Romero
Lubambo, Nelson Veras,
Chico Pinheiro, Yamandu Costa, Paulo Belinatti, Egberto Gismonti,
Toninho Horta, Jurim Moreira,
Conrado Paulino, Nelson Faria, Paulo André, Ulisses Rocha, etc.
I'm certainly forgetting dozens of great musicians.

Wow. Wish I could be there. I'm jealous (in a positive way). :-)

country blues and jazz -- Bill Harris, who actually precedes or is at
least contemporaneous with Byrd.

Not only "Brazilian jazz". Many jazz great players have used nylon
string guitars, for example
Lionel Louke and Sylvain Luc.
Not to mention Metheny and Scofield. Metheny has used nylon guitars in
several albums and Sco used
it in one of my favorites "Quiet".
I'm pretty sure that there many more out there.
