Live jazz at UT Austin. 2012 Longhorn Jazz Festival featuring John Clayton and the UT Jazz Orchestra. Loving it!
UT has some absolutely amazing composers. Marcus Wilcher, Alex Heitlinger, Gabriel Santiago, and Mike Sailors. Incredible original jazz compositions.
too amazing and inspiring

Maria Waits from “Brasilissima”
isn’t it great when people with good music give you a follow
Journey to Detroit
“Sometime in the not too distant future, John wakes up in suburban Chicago on a Saturday morning and heads to a White Sox gamein Detroit. Join him on a 300 mile journey to Detroits Comerica Park as he experiences the transportation options of the future: a neighborhood electric car share program, smart phone ticketing, high-speed rail, and connecting light rail. This clip is brought to you by America 2050 (www.America2050.org) as part of its A Better Tomorrow project to visualize Americas future communities and transportation systems.”
very cool and hope to see this become reality. good luck Detroit
speaking of Brasil… definitely a favorite worth checking out
“the model”
received a new gift straight from Brasil. loving it! it’s a Cuica, which is a percussion instrument that you may have heard in a lot of Brazilian/Samba music. It’s funny that for the longest time I wondered what the heck kind of instrument makes that sound and now I’m the happy owner of one… neighbors are going to love me hahaha :) check out how it sounds:
