Unorganized Hancock – One Note Samba

The entertainment for this weekend: Unorganized Hancock performs One Note Samba by Antônio Carlos Jobim.

Enjoy!

Homeschooled Jazz duo Unorganized Hancock performs One Note Samba by Antônio Carlos Jobim from the album Jazz Samba. One Note Samba, or Samba de Uma Nota Só, was originally released on the João Gilberto album O Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor.

The 11 year old drummer was playing a Pearl Export drum kit that he found in a dumpster in Rio de Janeiro. The guitar player was playing an Epiphone Wildkat Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Bigsby that has been passed down through generations of mediocre guitar players.The amplifier is a Fender Mustang III on a clean jazz setting.

A Behringer C1 and Audio-Technica AT 2050 were used for microphones. Everything was recorded into a Tascam DP-008 where it was tracked, mixed, and mastered.

I would like to thank Mr. S for donating the Audio-Technica microphone; we use it on every recording.

Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 32bit, was used to edit the video. For cameras, we used a Kodak PlayFull HD Video Camera.

Both members of Unorganized Hancock are homeschooled and living in Maine.

Diana Krall – The Boy From Ipanema

The entertainment for this weekend: Diana Krall signs “The Boy From Ipanema“.

Diana Krall has had a long time fascination with bossa nova, a type of music which perfectly suits her sophisticated yet sensual style. This culminated in her new studio album Quiet Nights (released by Verve in spring 2009) and in this stunning concert filmed in the home of the bossa nova, Rio de Janeiro, in November 2008. Accompanied by her band and an orchestra, Diana Krall delivers a superb set of standards in true bossa nova style but clearly bearing her unique stamp.

Enjoy!
