21 May 2006(moved from Yahoo!360)-Geri, Eddie, and I went to Blue Note last night to see one of the last true living legends of bossa nova perform at the legendary jazz club in Greenwich Village. We had a couple of pizzas at the corner of Bleecker where the famous Joe's pizza used to be then headed down to West 4th to line up an hour early. There was already a substantial line outside both for people with and without reservations. Can you believe it? WHile in line we noticed that the people watching were either Brazilians or Japanese. Geri had menti oned that there had been many artists including Jobim and Ella Fitzgerald whose performance she wished she had seen but never got t so now we can only listen to Tom Jobim on cd's. So, on this night that one of the last great ones was performing, I was glad I came.
