I like your landscape of the soul. Especially principe panqueca.

Subject: [Harp-L] Preview of some 2010 projects 

Hi all there. 

For those who are interested, I just uploaded some new samples on  
MySpace. To give you an impressions of the kind of projects I'll be  
working on in 2010.

I'm very happy to be part of a new group with an amazing young singer  
from Portugal; Maria JoÃo Mendes. She won several prices in Europe and  
has planned to record a new CD in Brasil this year. And not to forget, Â 
she has that "Elis Regina" energy thing on stage. All with a mixture  
of Leny Andrade and lots of contemporary influences. On MySpace I Â 
included two live recordings from a festival we did in 2009; 
- "Obsession" by Dori Caymmi and 
- "I Concentrate On You" by Cole Porter. 

Additionaly, I'm quite busy arranging and composing two new albums: 

One album with arrangements of songs from the American Songbook; but  
both the South American songbook and the North American songbook with  
songs ranging from Cole Porter to Jobim, from Wayne Shorter to Hermeto  
Pascoal ... ;-) . All arrangements written by myself for voice, Â 
harmonica and symphonic orchestra. At this moment on MySpace, only a  
completely new intro for "What A Difference A Day Made" is available; Â 
the intro got the title "Prelude to a Rainbow" and is dedicated to Ard  
Daane. 

The other album will contain only compositions by my own for voice, Â 
harmonica and symphonic orchestra. Much more contemporary; much more  
"for musicians only" Â... ;-) The "introduction" on MySpace being a  
first and simple example of what it will sound like more or less ... 

Any comments welcome, as usual. 

AbraÃos from Brazil, 

Wim
