really great. I tend to think of Bossa Nova as being quite laid back, but not this band. real drive to it. That real feel of pushing things but not actually getting faster. piano Bass and drums all really on it.

i thought i recognised the bass player, so had a look at comments. It’s Marc Johnson, who is her husband now.

Which made me look for an old clip i used to love and on which he played when he was much younger, With John Abercrombie and Michael Brecker, Peter Erskine.

Guess what... she used to be married to Randy Brecker.... brother of Michael.

Here is that live performance too, from Village vanguard. Love the energy in breckers sax solo.
