It's raining today, grey and dreary. But the sound of the falling rain is refreshing. Still, I'd like some relief from it all, and thought of a recent Django Reinhardt reissue, Nuages (i.e., clouds).
One of my favorite tracks is his swing interpretation of Aquarela do Brasil, a samba by Ary Barroso. In the lyrics, Ary sang the praises of his homeland, his Brasil brasileiro ("Brazilian Brazil").
