Daniel Schatz Plays Agradecendo by Pixinguinha

Daniel Schatz performs his arrangement of Agradecendo by Brazilian composer who’s best known as Pixinguinha (1897-1973) [Alfredo da Rocha Viana Filho]. This comes via Schatz’s YouTube channel (go subscribe). Agradecendo was likely written with the piano or for a general instrumental ensemble in mind, but it is fundamentally a choro piece. Really nice crisp and clean articulation and rhythmic delivery by Schatz but not without a nice sweet touch on occasion.
