The weekend after Mardi Gras is traditionally the slowest weekend of the year in New Orleans. So, relax to some War, set your head a throbbing to some Adrian Sherwood, and wile away over an hour by listening to 16 versions of "Corcovado" featuring (in no particular order): Stan Getz, Antônio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, Everything But The Girl, Elis Regina, Regina Belle, Lyambiko, Ithamara Koorax, Sérgio Mendes, Luciana Souza, Sarah Vaughan, Jetro da Silva, Jerry Gonzalez, Vanessa Rubin, Nara Leão, Trio Esperanca, Peter Martin and Gal Costa. Yeah, yeah. We know, that’s over two hours of muisc and we shouldn’t have done it but it was Carnival and…, well, we’ll be back to normal by next week.
