It's still freezing cold here in the Deep South and New England's under some sort of post-apocalyptic Ice Age snowmass, so I'm using this week's Old School Friday to play something warm and tropical to heat us back up.
I can't think of anything better for the task than Lester Bowie's Rios Negroes from his album The Great Pretender. Not only does the song have a great Brazilian beat and feel to it, but Bowie's sound, especially toward the end, is as human and humane as any trumpet playing I've ever heard.
Warmer days ahead, y'all.
