Re: Steve Smith

Re: Mike Shapiro (RIP)

Sad news :-( A great drummer, he played samba with authenticity, sounding like a Brazilian. I recommend his albuns with Dori Caymmi, Gary Meek and others. I was lucky enough to watch him here in Rio de Janeiro, many years ago, in a concert with Kevyn Lettau.
