Pancake Factor Podcast

The theme I gave to Roberto Nascimento, great friend, musician and music writer for the São Paulo Newspaper Estadão, our guest curator of the night, was Redemption/Prevailing/Overcoming (or in good ol' fashion portuguese 'Superação').

Let the sorrowful times wash away, raise your glass and feel the "happy blues" (as billie holiday puts it herself) take over you.

Playlist:

We're bringing down the tempo just enough to enjoy that afternoon with friends and a cold drink, soaking in the good weather, or while the kids play around in the back yard.
sit back, relax, and let the jazz take over.
