This just in from alert JazzMando Research Assistant and field reporter, Larry Sherman. Larry is one of the elite first owners to sling a Draleon Gypsy Mandolin, and is the process of securing a bandolim from Brazilian instrument builder Tércio Ribeiro, so he's got good taste in music and instruments.
YouTube has a collection of some apparent impromptu Choro jam session videos. Midst the backdrop of a vibrant music retail store with it's cymbal bags, percussion toys, glass counters and an ocassional string purchase peppered by the random jingle of cash register, the players are superb, and other than the ambient crowd noise, it's a wonderful opportunity for a glimpse into the activity and creation of some of the greatest music on the planet.
Here are three highlights:
Tira Poeira, de Sátiro Bilhar
Roceira, de Mario Cavaquinho
Amoroso, de Garoto (Anibal A. Sardinha)
Check out more with YouTube User ID Ovidio
Thanks for this, Larry!
