Hello, my name is Jodok, an African Grey parrot. I don't want to sound like I have a big ego, so I ask you, what about my vocal performance on the track "Loro"? Loro was composed by a very talented man, Egberto Gismonti, but do you think he ever imagined, in his wildest dreams, that some day a parrot would be singing his song. I.don't.think.so. Look, there is a lot of fine talent here, but you have to admit, nothing compares to my performance, right???

Hola, mi nombre es Jodok y soy un Loro gris africano. No quiero aparecer como engreído, asi que les pregunto a Uds: Qué tal mi actuacion vocal en la musica titulada “Loro“??? eeehhhh??? Loro fue compuesta por el muy talentoso Egberto Gismonti. Se habrá imaginado alguna vez que algun día un verdadero loro cantaria esta cancion? No lo creo

Es indiscutible el talento de todos quienes participan aqui, pero Admitámoslo, nada le llega a los talones a mi memorable actuacion, verdad????

O.K., so this piano player/composer from Finland, Iiro Rantala, is very gifted. More talented than me??? I don't think so :-)

______________________________________________________________________



And Gil Goldstein on accordion, I've heard that he worked with Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, Gil Evans, Pat Metheny, Jim Hall, The New York Voices, Milton Nascimento, Al Jarreau, and many others. Yes, that is quite impressive. More talented than me???

______________________________________________________________________



This guy playing the violin, Mark Feldman, I've been told that he has worked with Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Pharoah Sanders, Trilok Gurtu, Jack Bruce, Diana Ross, Carol King, Willie Nelson, George Jones and Johnny Cash, yes yes yes, quite impressive, but, more talented than me???

______________________________________________________________________



And then they have this bass player, Mike Richmond, who has worked with Stan Getz, Jack Dejohnette, Dizzie Gillespie, Chet Baker, Sonny Stitt, Toots Thielesmans and Roland Kirk, all giants, but I ask you???

______________________________________________________________________



And if that isn't enough, they have some special guests on their record, 4 guitarists; from Brasil Toninho Horta and Romero Lubambo, from France Bireli Lagrene, and Adam Rogers from New York. And they have this guy Charley Drayton playing snare drum on this crazy "Tangonator". I heard he toured and recorded with Keith Richard's X-pensive Winos, what's he doing on a tango record!!!???

______________________________________________________________________



Now me, as I explained, I'm only an African Grey Parrot. I never had any formal training, I don't have the credentials that these others have. Actually this was the first time that my voice was ever recorded. Sure, these guys are all great, but I ask you, what about "El Loro"???

One more thing, all this great talent, and they decided to put a photo of "me" on the cover, which of course I think was a very good idea. So, if there are any female parrots reading this, that find me attractive, please send me an email, I'm available. Of course you can also leave a comment on my photo, and tell me how beautiful I am. Now I would like you to meet some of my good friends; Earl, Frankie, Zelda Lou, Chino, Bunny, Guaps, Tongo and Rocky.
