Hey Guys!
My partner is a 30yr professional Sax player and a freind of ours who he recently worked a gig with has a recording studio and the resources to put this long overdue project together. The CD will mainly consist of Brazilian type love songs some originals and some standard covers Girl from Impanema, The Look Of Love etc. Of course I want the CD to include a Carpenters cover and since I am investing in this project he has no choice but to grant me my wish. My question to all of you is, which Carpenters song would you enjoy listening to by a sax soloist in a bosa nova type arangement. I will be extremely grateful for any input or advice on this choice.
Thanks JIM.

Hi Jim, that is really cool I was thinking that maybe it would be great to hear' Those good old dreams' from the made in Amarica album or maybe' Look to your dreams' from The voice of the heart or even ' Time' from Richard's 1st and 2nd solo albums

but for me whatever you choose will be great. Thanx so much for asking, hope its a big seller. >:(

an hour with you will chase the winter away

Lesser known songs possibly "Maybe It's You", or "One Love".

Hey Moe! ALL YOU GET FROM LOVE IS A LOVE SONG was my first choice as a cadidate track! The song does have a great sax solo in the bridge but because this is a sax solo album the bridge with the sax will have to be rearanged with different insturnmentation. Hopefully when I get a computer and utilze some of the music software I can speed up the process of coming up with a demo.
