Ok all you hipsters, jazzers, and R&B players... who's got the best style suggestion for Rio De Jeneiro Blue? Love that song!

Thanks to all who can help and y'all have a great week!
Randy

The Yamaha's have some great Bossa Nova Styles, pick any one of them and go for it.

The Pop Bossa Nova style, third variation, with a tempo of 132 seems to fit very nicely.

Good Luck,

Gary

Thanks Guys! I will give them a try. And Gary, enjoy that sailing! I have a 20 foot fishing boat, but the cost of gas and oil has made me settle for a "BK Big Fish". HA HA.

Thanks again!
Randy

Anyone have the sheet music for this tune?
thnx,
t.

PS ... quite a difference in the feel between the Randy Crawford version: http://cadillacslim.imeem.com/music/xnDv1OSd/randy_crawford_rio_de_janeiro_blue/

and the Mario Biondi Version http://beemp3.com/download.php?file=460790&song=Rio+De+Janeiro+Blue

Tony,

I agree. I really liked the Randy Crawford version best, and I would like the music, or at least the chords for it as well.

Thanks,

Gary

I'm a fan of Randy Crawford, but I thought Biondi has a 'cool' sounding voice ...

Here's a link to a digital sheet music source ... you first have to D/L some free software ... http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/scorch.asp?ppn=SC0007603

But if anyone already has it and is willing to share it, free is ALWAYS better, right ?!?!

Tony,

After you download Scortch, it will take you to a page where you can send them $5.95 for the privilage to download the 6-page file.

Gary ... yes, I knew there was a cost for the music ... one advantage - for at least some of the tunes - you can transpose it to the key you want ... very handy for 'vocalists' like myself who can't always sing the tune in the original key ...

Tony, Randy is from Cincinnati-just up the road about 80 miles. She was in the "trenches" a long time before she got her well deserved recognition and accompanying fame. I sat in with her once at, I think, the WNOP jazz fest years ago.

She's earned her place of respect among jazz fans.

You guys really make me feel old! Randy has a beautiful, haunting voice that I really love hearing. What an incredible vocalist.

Not feeling old, but one of my long time favorites was/is "Street Life" she's great on that tune as well.
