Gorgeous writing for trumpets (and trombone?)... and I assume that's you playing all parts? Excellent work. The "echo" on this was a little pronounced (maybe a better reverb setting is needed?) but the performance/writing was excellent.
Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.

The berimbau is a brazilian percussion/string instrument that is the foundation for this tune.
Thanks to Dana (Alontoner) who added the sweet backup vocals to make this a much better piece.
And thanks also to K. Scot Sparks (Alonetoner…
this was an attempt at making a tune where the vocal melody was nonredundant with the chords (or never found in any of the notes of any of the chords).
Almost succeeded - but it was fun trying.
This is a remake of Samba do Bonde, now with portuguese lyrics. A loose translation below:
Priviledge, the two of us here

This is gorgeous! Love your melodic and harmonic sense
love the chord progression
