Bossa Nova By Jeremy "Gringo" Daw

About Me

Thanks for visiting my page! I hope you enjoy these short samples from my latest music project - a 15 song bossa nova CD. All tracks were composed by the great Antônio Carlos Jobim. These myspace clips are only rough mixes, but please let me know what you think so far. I'll be putting up a link to a website soon, where one could buy the finished product if one were so inclined to do so... Thanks.I live in Eastern Ontario, Canada. I studied jazz bass and arranging for 3 years at Humber College in Toronto (1999-2002). Besides playing bass and working as a studio musician - I play drums, percussion, guitar, piano and sing as well. I write original material in a variety of different styles. I'm currently playing in a number of groups; a funk/latin/pop band, an orchestra, and 2 rock/pop groups. I'm also working on smooth jazz, acoustic pop, and indie rock projects when I have time. I enjoy good music in general and I have been involved in many different styles; jazz, brazilian, cuban, funk, fusion, black gospel, worship, metal, pop, disco, hip hop, rock, reggae, ska, bass & drum, punk, emo, country, blue grass, & classical.Aside from music, I enjoy traveling. I have traveled to and performed, as a sideman, in the Czech Republic, Cuba, Finland, Barbados, Sweden, Brazil 3 times, Germany, and all over Canada. In 2007 (outside on Canada) - I'll be performing in New Zealand for 3 weeks. I'll also be visit friends in the Czech Republic and in Brazil for 2 weeks each.
