Hi,
I'm new here, and I love Jazz. I have near-perfect music transcribing skills (when it comes to pop/rock/regular music) but a lot of jazz tips me over my real-time analysis ability and forces me to just let it wash over me.. which doesn't happen often in music for me!
Yeah, so, I listen to Jazz FM in the UK, and although they have the up-to-date play history, I sometimes miss a good track's artist detail. A few weeks ago,as I was waking up, I heard a funky little number. Loved the musical imprint it made on me but I completely missed the artist!
I was able to fairly roughly recreate the features of the track, in the hope of another internet person recognising the track and letting me know the artist's name, here:

I was also in the middle of a flu-ey week so, cripes, the vox are not a nice noise, but you'll get the idea.
Many thanks and hope you're enjoying the new year so far! :)
Cheers!
CB

I don't recognize the song, but it sounds like one of those Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 or 67 type arrangements.

Hi - thanks js.
Sounds like a good starting point, I'll sift through the catalogue and see what other gems I find :)

Hi,
I have located the actual track I head and it is Airto Moreira - Toque de Cuica

I love the percussion breaks towards the end!
The original is much better than my ill-sounding version..
Hope you like :)
