The Glide oracle is
nearing completion. We should have it up by the end of the
weekend. We're doing the final put together, then we'll test, all
the usual. It will be there off the Glide portal screen.

put three pieces up at the following link which we will be able to
link to through the oracle program. His descriptions are
below. As he put it, "Brazilian Tourists go to Taj Mahal."

The first one - Baião de
Todos os Santos - is probably
my favorite composition in my first CD, which blends
some very Brazilian melody and chords with some ideas
on how to establish an improvisation environment. My
work is much more the one of the arranger and a guitar
solo that uses a lot of silences... well, I hope you
enjoy.
The second one - Cafuné - is also a "baiao" (a
Brazilian rhythm from the north-east of the country)
but there's no improvisation as part of the
composition, it's just a delicate melody arranged for
a certain group. I use to say that, as a guitarist,
it's a much bigger challenge to play delicate melodies
than to play aggressive heavy-metal solos... I feel you
have to show yourself to play a melody like that!
The third one - Rosa Margarida - is a kind of
psychedelic, kind of acid-jazz style, influenced by
Bocato, a trombonist/composer with whom I've worked in
the 80's.
