Oh, what fun I'm having! This is the third time I'm redoing my 90-minute backtrack accompaniment tape of jazz tunes that I play my flute solos over when I go out and busk in Cambridge and Boston. I think I've deleted all the songs that don't quite work, and I've found 6 new bossa novas and a couple of really exciting jazz-blues tunes to put in their place. Almost every tune I play now is a Jobim bossa nova. I never tire of playing them; they are so beautiful, and challenging in a really good way. They demand and inspire massive improvisational creativity and imagination.
