Another album that is being shown to Loronixers as an outcome of a conversation started at CBox, the shouting box we have on our right side. When I added CBox feature, I could never imagine it would be so essential to Loronix. At CBox there is a structured process, as follows: someone shouts an album recommendation and I use to address when available, but the magic starts when I do not have the title requested, one of many CBox readers gets along with the process and send the request to Loronixers.In this case it was completely different, the Loronixer who made the contribution asked for a personal delivering, so I had to met him on an agreed spot close to my place and now we have this sought-after LP asked by Beto Kessel, The Ambassador, on a very good quality. Thanks Beto Kessel and thanks to the anonymous Loronixer.

With all respect to people involved on this post and to the interpret who certainly is great, but what has this album to do with Brazilian music and bossa nova...???
Anonymous.
Good point.
The answer is: this album has nothing to do with Brazilian Music and Bossa Nova. I agree 100% with you.
However, the record is great, different and flawless. Why not making?
It is all about music.
Cheers, zeca
I would be surprised if we have a Ivete Sangalo post, not a Duke one...
Cbox ?
Mesmo tendo a minha música favorita, "Daydream", acho que abre um precedente perigoso.
g picanco,
Não há perigo. Acredite. O zecalouro está no controle. Veja só o que veio depois desse, um belo Caymmi 55 com arranjos do Mestre Luiz Arruda Paes.
Se o zecalouro enlonquecer de vez, a gente muda a dieta dele. Girasol demais nesse Sol de verão é demais para o verdinho.
:-)
Grande Abraço, Mestre!

PS.: viu como ele não está bem? Esqueceu de assinar!
Então podemos divulgar os nossos jazzeiros. E bluseiros. A sério.
A Traditional Jazz Band fez (faz?) um trabalho maravilhoso com o Jazz. O grupo paulista, em 1992, gravou um album dukellingtoniano muito bom.
Está em um selo independente (T.J.B. Empreendimentos Artísticos Ltda.) gravado no Estúdio Matrix - SP.
Que tal?
Posso mandar o rapidshare?
Ou Big File?
Abraços momescos.
(Momo? Marchinhas de Carnaval? Por que não?)
g picanco,
É material recente...
Nesse caso, vale a pena entrar em contato com o artista e conversar. Além das verificações de praxe, catálogo, etc.
Qualquer dúvida eu jogo aquela boia vermelha e branca.
Abraços, zeca
I guess that this post could start a Loronix revolution. Not "Bossa Nova"? How dreadful.
Are we such bigots that good music should not be recognized wherever you find it. This record has been in the jazzman's collection for a long time. It is an excellent jazz record. Full of swing and big joyous sounds. Don't be put off by the fact that it is not Bossa Nova. Grab it while you can and rejoice in the music.
No meio de centenas de discos de BN / MPB um único álbum “fora do padrão” provoca essa grita, esse rebuceteio (obrigado, Cláudio Cunha!) todo. Se bem me lembro, aquele disco de Claudia Telles provocou mais ou menos a mesma ira... Mas não me acho com envergadura moral (obrigado, Marcelo Nova!) para me opor à ala stalinista do Loronix. Eles são muitos, Zeca, e não relaxam nunca!
Lembrando Nelson Rodrigues: "toda unanimidade é burra!"... Não vamos radicalizar, uma boa música é como um bom vinho, não importa o gênero será sempre bem-vinda (mas beba com moderação)...
:-)
what is jazz?
o que importa é a grande musica e ellington é pixinguinha e beethoven, e que disco soberbo , Deus desceu a terra com sua orquestra de cordas.
Dear Zecalouro,
How absolutley delightful a surprise to find this album here: It's very, very rare, you know - VERY hard to get, and has always eluded me, 'til today @ Loronix (what a surprise!).
I happen to know that Stephane Grappelli himself could never find this record, and was always asking for a copy!
Many thanks,
RED (Ireland).
