Notes from the world of latin jazz & Brazilian singer-songwriter Alexa Weber Morales
This is from the early 1970s. I love how Don Music bangs his head on the piano whenever he hits a songwriting speedbump. "Oh, I'll never get it, never, Oh!!! [BANG]!" And the interaction with a reasonable Kermit and the easily frustrated Don Music is one that I think many a composer could relate to.

I sing in four languages, crossing borders with acoustic jazz, boleros, salsa and samba. I'm a songwriter, mother, recovering magazine editor, triathlete and former auto mechanic.
Vagabundeo (Patois Records, 2007; KOCH distribution). Produced by triple Grammy nominee Wayne Wallace. Lush arrangements wander through the jungles of samba (Ave Rara), salsa (El Cantante and Habanera), afro-funk and an a capella ballad (Calling You, feat. Kenny Washington and Bryan Dyer of SoVoSo).
