Oh shxt! As I was reading this I felt myself morphing into an iowa hater. Airto is the MAN! I was writing my "you're so lucky and I hate all that will be there" email when I noticed the link. It all melted away in a wash of "I love iowa thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much". Thanks kent. Judaman too.

If you're not familiar, Airto Moreira is a Brazilian drummer and percussionist who came to the US in the 60s and played with Miles Davis, Weather Report, Chick Corea (before he began sucking hard), and led his own band on many albums, including the incomparable 'Fingers,' which has been sampled frequently for House tracks... Unfortunately my batteries crapped out before his last 2 numbers -- he ended with 'Tomba in 7/4' which is among his most exciting and durable compositions. http://www.cornwarning.com/xfer/Airto-6-29-2007.mp3
