Toots Thielemans - The Brasil Project Vol. 2 (1993)

This is another solid listen provided by one of the most fantastic friends I have the change to meet with Loronix. Let me stand up first before saying this name, Caetano Rodrigues. Just follow this link and be amazed with loads and loads of rare and impossible to find music provided by Caetano.

It is important and an act of respect that all music provided by Caetano Rodrigues be available to the community, and that's the reason why this album is being reposted in the first page. I'm also missing Caetano's valuable advice; I learned a lot with Caetano. Anyway, this is also an album that everybody cries for a rebirth. That's what I had to say. I will keep my 2007 words below with some modifications.

Here we go on Caetano's international release of the day, actually it is quite a mistake of mine to tag a Toots Thielemans album recorded with Brazilian artists as international. Toots Thielemans has a great identification with the music from Brazil, being here several times of his life, recorded a wonderful album with Elis Regina, performed with several other renowned Brazilian artists, such as Rosinha de Valenca, Sivuca, among others.

This is Toots Thielemans - The Brazil Project Vol. 2 (1993), for Private Music, featuring Toots Thielemans harmonica and Luiz Bonfa, Eliane Elias, Dorival Caymmi, Djavan, Milton Nascimento, Caetano Veloso, among others. Personnel listing explain why this record is considered a "project". I did not have muscles to type, how big it is. Another self-explanatory release. Thanks Caetano Rodrigues for showing this album to Loronixers. Tracks include:

Toots shows up on the Loronix blog...thanks so much, not just for this but all your hard work. I enjoy your blog on weekends when I have some time, and am never disappointed by the wealth of info you offer on the things you share. Superb!

This album is one of my all time favorites. I saw Toots together with Richard Gallianos New York Trio on the 2004 Berlin Jazzfest. He is one of the most inspiring musicians ever.

A big thank you for your fantastic work from Germany.

Hey there, thanks for all of the great music. It is amazing what you have done for my appreciation of Brazilian music. Just to let you know, it appears that the second download is the exact same as the first. That is, part B of this album is not included and the download is actually just part A. Whether you have time to fix it or not, I have so much gratitude for all you have done. Thanks.

Yep, Fixing part 2 would be nice!
Thanks!

Zeca, lindo este post, fiquei curiosa por o comentário de Anonymous e decidi baixar o disco pois, sendo ele o único em protestar, não entendi a que se referia. Sim, ele tem razão, Zeca. A parte2 contem exatamente o mesmo arquivo que a parte1, o seja, a parte1 (tracks 01-06) está duplicada. Pela data do comentário de Anonymous e posto que em o 2007 ninguém diz acerca de algúm inconveniente com este post, creio que o problema tem seu origem quando se fiz o re-upload dos arquivos depois de que tiraram fora os links de Loronix e por alguma confusão, se subió o mesmo arquivo parte1 dois vezes e não o arquivo que contenhia os tracks 07-11 e que correspondem à parte2.

parte2 = parte1 Falta a verdadeira parte2 (tracks 07-11)

Ai Zeca, ya me enredé... mas você entendiou ¿sim, verdade? Eu não sei como explicarte meior

Abraços, Nina

Correção!!!

Onde diz "tracks 07-11" TEM QUE DIZER "tracks 07-13"

Ai Zeca, quando será que eu escreva, tudo o que tenho que escrever, bem e ao primeiro intento :(

Hello Rob,

You are right, these files have the same MD5 HASH, they are equal.

I will try to see what I can make, but it should be next weekend.

Thanks once again.
