"Manuel,
muito obrigado for your settings and other description of your equipment. Sound was good despite it's only Youtube. Probably because you use preamp and Leslie.

You're welcome friend!
These videos are recorded by my Canon camera and its sound quality is poor. But given the conditions of recording, even sound good!
Of course the preamp and 145 leslie are part of a good sound!

"I have listen to more of your videos and must admire also your original compositions. Really nice style...."

I'm very glad you like my music, thank you! I love Larry Young.

"It was mentioned there you have published some CD. Could you please write more about it? Where is possible to buy them?"

Unfortunately my CD is not for sale yet. Soon will be available in some online stores.
CD title is "Para além de mim..." (like "Apart from me ..."), featuring Mário Barreiros on drums and Mário Santos on tenor and soprano saxophones. This project was born in 2003, after an great experience I had with Mário Santos and two incredible musicians - Henry Lowther on trumpet (from UK) and Alex Frazão on drums / percussion (from Brazil).
If you know some portuguese jazz players, like the singer Maria João or the pianist Mário Laginha, you will hear this drummer in several CDs.

Henry has now 70 years old and during his carreer has played with some of the best jazz players in the world. I remember Kenny Wheeler (several records), John Taylor, Gil Evans and many others. You can visit his wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Lowther_(musician)
As you can imagine, this was one of the best experiences I had in my all life!

In this CD, I recorded ten original tunes, composed and arranged by me. Each of them has a dedicated poem. Sometimes I write a poem first and it become an inspiration to compose a particular music,
I'm always divided between the music and the "words"!
I love both!!

Here is the tune that gives the title to the CD:

"Somebody here asked more videos of your play. It's easy to find them.
I'd recommend it to all modern jazz and fusion lovers.
Have a nice day, and lot of success!
Daniel Forro"

Once again, thank you very much...
...sorry so much words.
Hugs,
Manuel
