Dear Friends and Fans, Burt has played in São Paulo three times. I could not attend the first one in 1959 because I was just 7 years old. However I was there in the second (1974) and in the third show (yesterday). Additionally, I am really pleased that I could attend his shows in Houston (May 2003) ...

Hello all friends and Burt fans in Italy and worldwide !

Best regards,
Fernando Kneese

These are great news. I attended his show in 1974 in São Paulo and unfortunately could not go to his latest show in Rio de Janeiro around 1998. A pianist - a friend of mine - recently commented that Burt was in Brazil in the 50's playing together with Marlene Dietrich. Later I enjoyed his presentati...

The Audio CD is available today at www.amazon.com for US$ 32.49.

I bought it a few months ago.
