Heaven

I hope they have music like this in heaven.  I love all the instrumental parts, the composer on the piano, the cello, the flute.  I like it when the composer sings along, too.



Music by one of my favorite composers, Antonio Carlos Jobim.  He was Brazilian, and he loved being at the beach.  He said this song "Wave" was inspired by watching the ocean.  It reminds me of the ocean, too.  It makes me feel like sailing.

Here is another, livelier version, with Herbie Hancock (he comes in with a one-handed solo just after two minutes).  Notice the man playing the guitar; you can tell he enjoys what he's doing!  I love seeing the masters at work.
