Since the focus of this month’s Live Seminars is reharmonization, I thought I’d share Cliff Korman’s recently released version of “Michelle”. According to a blurb in his book, Inside the Brazilian Rhythm Section (© 2001 Sher Music), he is
an accomplished jazz pianist and highly regarded educator and independent scholar, . . . [who] likes to say that twenty years of immersion in the musical universe of Brasil sheds a different light on the way he looks at American jazz. His in-depth exploration has enabled him to absorb the components of the musical language of Brasil and make them part of his own aesthetic universe, in a personal and well structured semantic system.
Enjoy!
