Brazilian Breezes: Mostly Jobim

Betty Johnson's daughter Lydia Gray has musical wisdom in her blood - a heritage that comes shining through in Bazilian Breezes. With respectful delight, Lydia Gray and Ed Eastridge handle Antonio Carlos Jobim's masterful songs (and several others) very carefully. Each recording is crafted, arranged, recorded, mastered, and produced beautifully to make this a must-have CD for any music lover's collection. By teaming up with Ed Eastridge, Lydia Gray creates musical magic. It is as if they have worked together for 25 years! Just a spectacular debut solo effort. Artist biography: A Brief Word From Lydia Gray: 

　　Thank you to all who have been so supportive during this project, especially Ed who is a true artist and amazing collaborator and to his family who made me feel a part of them! A special thanks to all the musicians who worked so hard to bring this CD together. Blessings and thanks to Carolyn Bardos, who got us together and wouldn't let us stop! A thousand thanks to Scott and Suzanne- you both are the best! A very special thank you to all who helped with the technical parts of the CD, especially David Grossberg, Jim Baldassare, Bruno Rinaldi and Rodolpho Franconi, Juliana Lafemina Steagall and Tony Monte - I could not have done this without each of you. Finally for my family, words cannot express the joy and love you bring to my life. Mom, Dad, Dick, Kathy and 'the Brood', Elisabeth, Carlos & my Spanish family, and for my angels Stephen, Katie and Nicholas: thank you all for believing and loving me!
