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?

Both! Astrud's daughter is now singing and she is better than her
mother. First heard her at a fishing lodge during dinner. She has
several albums now.

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.

Getz/Gilberto. A classic. An earlier classic was Sergio Mendez and
Brazil 66. Joanne and I enjoyed Rio when we went to a IEEE conference
in 84. We went to samba clubs every night about 10 and would stay
until 1 or 2 in the morning listening and dancing. Great stuff.
