<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl">Portishead is an English band formed in 1991 in Bristol. They are often considered one of the pioneers of trip hop music. I remember being inspired as I listened to their music in the late 90's. Such a beautiful composition of jazz, electronic and strings. I have watched their video many times over the years of a special show they performed in Roseland NYC in '97. I have always dreamed of mixing jazz with some form of electronic music. As I listen to this again today, through this new frame of mind a thousand flowers could bloom...</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl">Summer is quickly making its way to Texas. It is already into the 90's on a regular basis. To start easing my way in to summer, I have been listening to one of my favorite records; Getz/Gilberto (1963). These dreamy bossa novas are the perfect summer soundtrack. So grab a cocktail, sit back, relax and click play... </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Getz/Gilberto is a 1964 jazz-bossa nova album by American saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist João Gilberto, featuring composer and pianist Antônio Carlos Jobim. Its release helped fuel the bossa nova craze in the United States and internationally, becoming the first Grammy Award-winning album from non-American artists. It brought together Stan Getz, who had already performed the genre on his LP Jazz Samba, João Gilberto (one of the creators of the style), and Jobim, a celebrated Brazilian composer (and also one of the main creators of the genre), who wrote most of the songs in the album. It became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time, and turned Astrud Gilberto, who sang on the tracks "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Corcovado", into an internationally celebrated musician. The painting on the cover is by Olga Albizu.</span></p>Ruby Alexandertag:rubyalexandermusic.com,2005:Post/51842782018-04-16T10:55:49-05:002018-04-16T10:58:30-05:00C'est si bon<p><span class="font-large">The sun is shining in San Antonio.

<p>I love this story about how the Danish love jazz. It's great to play jazz, but no musician wants to play alone in the back of a bar where no one can hear him or her. Jazz is a creative expression that needs to be shared. So it's a good thing I love to share! I'm grateful to all the fans and support I've gotten of the years. I need to get over to Denmark and meet some new fans soon! :)</p>Ruby Alexandertag:rubyalexandermusic.com,2005:Post/50127002018-01-08T11:36:57-06:002018-01-08T11:36:57-06:002018<p><span class="font_xl">Happy New Year!

The first annual "Battle of The Swing Bands" will be held in New Braunfels, TX at the Seekatz Opera House, a perfect 9,000 spare foot early 1900's venue. The event will have two stages facing each other with a great size dance floor in-between! This "Battle of The Swing Bands" will be reminiscent of the "Battle of Swing" that took place between Chick Webb and Count Basie in 1938. The first 100 people that buy tickets will get them at the rock bottom price of $20 per ticket. After that general admission tickets will go up to $30 and tickets will be $35 at the door the day of the event. Tables are available for purchase as well and range from $250-$300, seating up to 8 people. Come dressed to impress and do not miss out on this amazing night of swingin' Jazz! </span></p>
