In the very first beginning of Loronix, I received from a Japanese friend a video with Antonio Carlos Jobim and Banda Nova performing live in Japan, according with this friend, the performance happened in 1987, Japan, city of Hibiya. By that time he said it was a personal gift, not to be shown at Loronix as the audience had some blank spaces and this was not good.After a year, I watched the video again and my first reaction was to send an email to him asking for a new permission. He wrote back in a matter of hours saying that since then, Loronix changed his mind, his habits and his life, giving also the needed authorization.
This is the kind of thing that makes my day. I'm so glad with Loronixers and the community we created together around this website.
Watch this video with attention, it is unique, I never saw The Maestro with such deep feelings performing at the piano. A Very special moment. The songs are Dindi and Luiza. Thanks Japanese friend.
Hope uEnjoy!
Excellent. I wish these videos would be made available on DVD. Also the Paula Morelenbaum videos from Japan.
ReplyDeleteI found a 48:56 minute video of the same concert. Beautiful! I'd love to send it, may I? And if yes, how to proceed?

Hey Rob,
ReplyDeleteGood. I have this video. Thanks for the offer.
If I remember, there were several blank spaces in the audience and nice moments with Jobim, as always.
Kind regards,
