  Carlinhos: We gonna play some classical music now, that’s shorin shorin, it’s older than jazz. Music up and hot I love to listen to jazz and then I met Dizzy Gillespie and then Dizzy became my friend, sometimes we play together, it’s not official occasion. And then I back to Brazil. I start associations with guys who play more jazz.  And then I start to play with Toots Thielemans, Herbie Mann, Paquito D’Rivera. The people in Brazil; they love to play the jazz.  Music fades into “Wave,” under and then hot when he finishes speaking Music Credit: Original music by Carlinhos and excerpt of “Wave” composed by Carlos Jobim and performed by Toots Thieleman from the album 90 Years, used courtesy of Challenge Records International and by permission of Corcovado Music.
