This is an advanced Samba arrangement that contains complex layered rhythms and incorporates the push -pull technique with the dominant hand.

Stellar stuff. And so clean at this tempo. As I started to listen, right away it occurred to me that the opening passage is just a reverse bosa nova. Heck, I can play that. Just knock about 100 bpm off the quarter note time stamp at the top of the chart and it's not a problem.
