Derek Rieth: friend, teacher, brilliant musician
This recording is of Derek’s Go Gringo Go ensemble from September 17, 2004. I was honored to perform with him that night, am grateful for the time we had together, and feel privileged to have learned so much about music in his presence.

Infinite Culture 
I was going to add a link to the Portland State Brazilian Culture night from a number of years ago, but I couldn’t find it. I am so grateful to have had a number of opportunities to learn from him. I am also so lucky to share some of the grieving process with so many people that loved him at California Brazil Camp.
