Manha de Carnaval

[Mark Kleinhaut]

Also known as the theme from Black Orpheus, or "A Day in the Life of a Fool. Manha de Carnaval is a song with three names... Here's my take with a fully improvisational "arrangement".

[Mark Kleinhaut]

I don’t know who can be playing happy feel good music at this time. I guess there will always be an instinct to dance the night away, just as there is to fiddle while Rome burns. You know where I come out (sigh!!)

Dance the Night Away by Cream (from their album Disraeli Gears)

Gonna build myself a castle
High up in the clouds.
There'll be skies outside my window;
Lose these streets and crowds.

Dance the night away.

I'll find myself an ocean,
Sail into the blue,
Live with golden swordfish,
Forget the time of you.

Dance the night away.

Dance myself to nothing.
Vanish from this place.
Turn myself to shadow
So I can't see your face.

Dance the night away.

Mark, I couldn't play like that if I lived to be 100. Here's my take on the tune from a couple of years ago. Not the best, not the worst.

its nice to hear the tune played simply, as it has such natural beauty, and your rendition has a tender vibe that fits the piece well.
