Hello folks. How are you?
Today I will present to you 2 songs, 'The Girl from Ipanema' and 'Desafinado'. They are my favourite songs, which are composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim, and I mixed those two into one song, a medley. And I got an idea for this arrangement from 2 organists' playing: Denny McLain and Walter Wanderley.
By the way, Denny McLain is an American former professional baseball player and he was also musically talented, learning to play the organ from Bob Creed, the Chicago White Sox organist.

And this time, it is my first time using my 'new' Hammond XM-1 and XMc-1 modules as the organ sounds. They were released in the mid-'90s and sound very mellow. I think it's suitable for the song.
You can listen to the pure XM-1 sounds in the first part, and then in the second part, 'Desafinado', the Atelier AT-90SL organ takes over. And at the end of the song, returning to 'The Girl from Ipanema', both organ sounds are mixed together. You can hear the rich organ sound.
Hope you enjoy and have a lovely day!
