Listen to music? Have you tried Pandora.com? I have several artists set

OMG! They're gotten to Dave! Brubeck is an icon of progressive jazz.

João Gilberto or Astrud Gilberto? I prefer Astrud, but João is great,
too. Astrud is always a little off-key, off-syncopation, uncertain of
English lyrics, thoroughly amateurish, and natively adorable in her
voice and phrasing.

The sets they did with Stan Getz are inspired.


I wonder if you guys might like Gilberto Gil? Not really the same kind
of music but great Brazilian music none the less.

One of my favorite Brazilian artist is Roberta Miranda. I love the sound
of her voice. My wife can't stand her. Says her lyrics are hokey. I
can't understand a word she says anyway. I don't speak Portuguese. I
just like her voice and music. Truth be told, I seldom pay much
attention to lyrics anyway. My daughter thinks that's why I like opera.
