Black Orpheus ( Manhã de Carnaval)

Alfredo came over with his congas, and we had a terrific jam session, plus he brought several CD s of Chucho Valdes, who is one of my favorite piano players. This tune is called Black Orpheus (in english), after the 1959 Brazilian movie by the same name. The song was a big part of the popularization of samba in the US in the early 60 s, and has become a jazz standard. The recording of the piano and congas was done with a Rode VideoMic, which attaches to my camera. I added the bass and clave later.
