Program host Scott Adams' notes:
Celebrating our 18th year: 1992 - 2010

Spring is the season we look forward to most - and as soon as it arrives, we can't wait for Summer! That's just how it works. Our annual salute to Spring (and an adeus to Winter) is filled with gret tunes. I always have a lot of fun putting this show together.

New tunes? Yep! Minas offers up a Bossa Nova Day, Ed Johnson & Novo Tempo, and the latest from Torcuato Mariano's guitar, plus spring-fling Bossas from Marcos Valle, João Gilberto, Vanessa da Mata (left) with Ben Harper , Kevyn Lettau and the Beastie Boys' Money Mark. Gilberto Gil and Nana Caymmi team up for a Trop-pop/reggae romp, while the softer side of the season come to us from a pair of pianists: Steve Barta with Herbie Mann's flute, and Marcos Ariel's 'Calm'.

There's the 'Waters of March' with Al Jarreau and Oleta Adams and a preview of next week's show with a song from Astrud Gilberto's 'Plus' CD to get us started. Dori Caymmi's 'Spring' provides a closing bookend to our season-changing show this week

Contemporary jazz meets Brazil on this richly layered, multifaceted collection of instrumental and vocal tunes in Portuguese, Spanish and English, each guided by guitarist Ed Johnson’s ‘second nature’ sense of South American swing! The history of Rio de Janeiro unfolds line by line, story by interesting story from the ‘treasure trove’ mind of Ruy Castro, who also penned the award-winning book ‘Bossa Nova’. Think you know Rio, Read this book and you’ll be amazed at the events and people who chronicle this city’s unique tale. This Brazilian jazz CD revisits eleven tunes by songwriter Mike Stoller, who although better known for his wealth of pop hits including “Jailhouse Rock” and “Is That All There Is,” has a penchant for flowing melodies that are perfect for Vergueiro’s deft ensemble arrangements and piano play, helping it to earn its reputation as a five-star evergreen.  Zé’s sonic percussion and skilled multi-lingual pop arrangements really pulse on this rhythmic, stellar debut. Check out Peter Gabriel's ‘Mercy Street’, Gilberto Gil’s ‘Extra’ and Baden Powell’s ‘Consolação’. With Leila Pinheiro, Kleber Jorge, Yutaka. If you’ve been searching for a concise, expertly balanced collection of American Bossa Nova, look no further. This 3-CD set combines the best of Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz. In fact, these three volumes will satisfy the most dedicated Bossa Nova fan for years. This historic debut was recorded in April 1964 - half a world away and exactly 13 months after the legendary Getz/Gilberto sessions. Sá’s lightly romantic voice carries that same slightly out-of-tune charisma that became a calling card for Bossa Nova. An early classic and a favorite CD with our staff.Leave it to Carioca chanteuse Ithamara Koorax to give us another ‘first’ for Bossa Nova as it enters its 6th decade. Here’s a never-before collection of songs written by João Gilberto, lovingly crafted with only her voice and the masterful guitar play of Juarez Moreira, then expertly produced by the legendary Arnaldo DeSouteiro. Even more intriguing when you consider that Gilberto - the man who invented Bossa Nova - has written these very few (but wonderful!) songs! Bebel’s music always carries a charismatic tone, but now you can add ‘intimacy’ to your list for this, her fourth album. Recorded in the US, Brazil and Jamaica, her unique role as a femme fatal/Brazilian crooner comes via her familial birthright, her NYC birthplace and teen years in Rio de Janeiro. Whatever, because when she begins to sing, you can’t help but get caught up in it. With Daniel Jobim, Carlinhos Brown and Didi Gutman of the Beat Girls.
