I was thrilled when Joy Sanford agreed to play KASU Jazz Thursday on February 24, 2011. She had helped us so many times on so many shows but always as an accompanist, never as the star of the show. She put together a great band of regional musicians with Ron Horton on trumpet, Craig Collison drums, and Tom Mason, bass. And they really delivered, song after song. I was fortunate to get good recordings at this once in a liftime event. Bossa Nova is Portuguese for new wave. It's a Brazilian style incorporating Samba and Jazz. The most prominent composer of Bossa Nova songs is Antonio Carlos Jobim and one of his most played songs is "Wave". So now, here's Joy Sanford playing "Wave" at KASU Jazz Thursday on February 24, 2011.
