Is there anyone who can help me finding the name of a bossanova/jazz song? I puted a small audio mp3 clip that should be enough to recognize it...

Thanks in advance!

Don't know the name of that bossa tune - but if that was an arranger playing the sax part - I'd buy it in a heartbeat no matter what the cost - but since it sounded like someone coughing in the background I assume is was a "live" recording with a real player?

That's a Dianne Shur tune called Love Dance.

...."Turn up the quiet, love want's to dance......"

pretty tune - I think Stan Getz played on that cut. David Grusin produced it.

Mike H, Uncle Dave,

Thank you guys, for your answers! I really like this forum comunity!

It's a real performance, and yes it's live (too good for an arranger, humm?). I took the audio clip from a tape recording I did while living in Paris, some years ago (94/95). I met Steve Browman - the pianist of the band - during the exams for a jazz school, which I didn't intend to enroll, because I was lacking of time. But this gave me the opportunity to ask him for particular lessons for some months. I don't remember the names of the other members in his band. If you are interested in further information, I found this on the Web:

If interested, I can send you the tune in the best possible digitized form (better than I did for demo). I love this tune 'cause it's great for improvisation.

Thanks again.

May I add George Benson's name to this list.

By all means :-)

This is, with great probability, a very incomplete list.
