This week was a great one out East for music lovers of every stripe. From
Bach to Bossa Nova there was truly something for everyone in the clubs, the
cultural centers and the theatres.

It was an early start to the
weekend play with a long postponed visit to catch the sultry Ludmilla in
her weekly appearance at Le Chef on Job’s Lane in Southampton. Spending
an evening with Ludmilla and her accompanist Marcello Velloso on guitar
is like sitting at a beachside café along Rio’s famed Copacabana Beach.
Ludmilla has a sweet and sexy voice ideal for the music of the great
Bossa Nova composers like Tom Jobim, Carlos Lyra and Edu Lobo. She
quickly warmed the audience – a packed house – with her beautiful
renditions of Brazil’s most famous import since coffee and the bikini.
As she had friends in the house who were to be married this weekend, she
passed the microphone to several of the guests to do their own vocal
tributes. Simply put, Ludmilla’s friends can sing! One in particular
Natalie Delgado blew the crowd away. Applauding Ludmilla and her “guest
artists” were Maude Davis with Robert Danker, Leah Delgado and Paul
Curiali, Freddy Leon, Stephanie Kline and Dave Smith. As usual Mark
Marshall aka Marshy kept the tropical cocktails flowing and the crowd
happy. The only thing missing were bathing suits to make it a really
Tropical evening!
