An evergreen standard, 'Black Orpheus', played by the pianists Kenny Barron and Brad Meldhau, a very suggested view, excellent soundtrack as well in HQ

 
Finally got around to watching it. Pretty cool. Now I'm going to have to find the movie 'Black Orpheus' on DVD. Saw it many years ago. From Brazil as I recall.

I myself never had a chance to watch the movie and now I'm curious, even though it's supposed to be not too cheerful, not too recent as well (takes place in Rio carnival, 1959).

More renditions: the following from Paul Desmond, one of the more elegant voices in alto saxophonists


This other rendition from Joe Pass guitar solo, his real name - a very Italian one- is Giovanni Passalacqua

Mccoy recorded a superb rendition of Black Orpheus but apparently isn't available in the internet I'll look for it some more
 
Ramsey Lewis has a great version of Black Orpheus. I got it on vinyl (mono) - ha, dating myself, eh?

+1 on Paul Desmond
+1 on Kenny Barron
+1 on Joe Pass.

You have some good taste!

f-d
