I grew up on Sergio and Brazil 66. Today, my sets are infused with lots of Latin rendered tunes. I keep a a set of congas on the bandstand. Full drum kits are a no-no in most restaurants around here, but a small set of percussion pieces makes most tunes "tasty". Lots of drummers stop by to see me, and will sit in on congas or percussion.

Great to see such a style "influencer" get the recognition he so fully deserved.

Daughter ain't bad, either.
