This amazing cover shows a Toucan, a Ramphastos. They are not social like zecalouro but are really beautiful. Perhaps only a few Loronixers had the chance to touch a Toucan and take a closer look. An angry Toucan can make serious injury to each other when there are fertile females around. Their beautiful big peak is hot like the body with a thin tongue.Well, this is a music blog and zecalouro is going nuts! Let's go back to business...
Meet Walter Wanderley, 1966, Rain Forest, the first album recorded with his Trio - Walter Wanderley, Claudio Slon (drums) and Jose Marino (bass) in the US featuring also US musicians. This is his best-known record, and one of Bossa Nova essentials. We will find all those famous Bossa Nova songs from the 60’s; such like Summer Samba, Samba do Aviao, Saudade Querida and others.
Great zeca,
ReplyDeleteDo not worry for your comments about Toucans; they give a "tropical taste" to this LP. I had the opportunity to see some of them in Venezuela, but I never dared touch them (I was a child).
Concernnig to the music, beautiful as ever. Instrumental Bossa Nova "jazzeada" to listen to in the afternoon in front of the sea; those of you who are not living by the sea will have to forgive me, but I can do it (Mediterranean Sea instead of Atlantic Ocean, but it does not matter) :-)
I have a question for you, experts Loronixers: I have heard the first song (Summer Samba), similar arrangements, organ, ... but the voice of Astrud Gilberto was singing the lyrics. Could you remind me what LP this version is included in? Thanks a lot!
I think you´ll find it on the Gilberto-LP "A Certain Smile, a Certain Sadness" from 1966, which also features W. Wanderley.
ReplyDeleteGreetz,

Thank you, Jörn. I think I have this one in CD format, or perhaps is a mp3 witch is lost among a great deal of other Brazilian music that this green bird has being posting here or uploading in a torrent site. I will try to find it at home.
ReplyDeleteRegards!
Please, place which instead of "witch". Sometimes my English is disturbed as if a witch had put a curse on me ;-)
ReplyDeleteZamurozein,
ReplyDeleteThanks for liking Toucans. I know that you are a bird fan.
Regarding English, your English is pretty good, Zamuro!
There is a challenge to you. Right now. Try to read out loud this simple sentence.
Three switched witches watch three Swatch watch switches. Which switched witch watch which Swatch watch switch?
Tell me what you think =smile=
zecalouro
Uff! This really a big challenge, even for English speaking people! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis remins me some of the similar phrases we have in Spanish: "El perro de San Roque no tiene rabo porque Ramón Rodríguez se lo ha cortado" especially for people who has some difficults pronouncing the strong "r". :-))
By the way, I have found Loronix a good place to improve my English, so I am getting a triple benefit from this site: music, culture, and English practice. Thank you!
I remember I bought this LP mint for 10 cents many years ago and never listened to it, just looked at the cover and thought "oh, this must be so awful." Sometimes I would show it to people and we would laugh at it. Today, of course, I love it, Wanderly's playing is so very very percussive, it's really something very different on the organ. If nosso amigo verde had not posted it soon I was going to do my own. I am still thinking of remixing this in 5.1 since it really lends itself to expansion into other dimensions. This is a perfect record.
