Scott,I've sent you the music sheets for Chico's #7,8,30 . These are very well known and beautiful bossas.


José: Many thanks for sending the lead sheets. Actually I'm rather embarrassed to admit now that I actually do already know & play Chico's songs #7 & #8 but had only recognized them by their English titles: No More Blues & Brazil. I spent time this morning playing Luiza and really love Jobim's chord changes. Jobim has a way of making simple yet beautiful melodies shine thru the use of wonderfully exotic chord changes. And yes, Autumn Leaves is one of the first jazz standards I learned way back when I began exploring/playing jazz standards back in school.

Looking forward to seeing your top song favorites list (including the portuguese songs) of course.

Scott
