Carlos Lyra with Stan Getz Group + Upcoming post!

2006-02-18T09:18:00.000-08:00

I'm a big fan of Carlos Lyra.
Many or some of you know for example the great album with Paul Winter" The Sound of Ipanema"(CBS).
I read and heard about, that Lyra also played and toured with the Stan Getz Group mid of the 60's. Unfortunately it seems that there never was released a recordingsession of this group with Lyra until today. On the website www.sombras.com.br (Discografia Carlos Lyra) are some infos about, that Lyra played with Getz' group for example in Canada, Japan and USA (Newport Festival).If anyone of you know something about a liverecording (perhaps during the Newport Festival) would be nice to tell me about it. It seems it would be a wonder that someone had recorded something from radio during the 60's. But possible is everything!!

By the way, before I will travel to Rio in March I will post a Juarez album "Bossa nova nos "States" next week- Juarez is a saxophonist and blows in very cool style on this recording- it seems he was a fan of Stan Getz -) I like this instrumental bossa jazz album and hope you will like it ,too.

All the best
Tom

Here for you now the complete wonderful album of Tito Madi " Amor e paz" (1963)
Tito Madi recorded so many albums ,but this is perhaps his most bossa oriented one with great orchestra directed by Astor and Neco on guitar.
One notice: Don't wonder about that some tracks sound in CD and some in LP quality.
The reason is :I have the LP and a German "Bossa music friend" bought a "Best Of" Madi CD , which includes some songs of this album-
So you have here some songs picked up from the CD and some from my LP (thank you Oliver)
All the best
Tom

-No details about playing group on covers-

I start my complete album posting with this Paulinho Nogueira album of 1963. I have many Nogueira albums in my collection and for me this is perhaps one of his best- even not his best album.

Paulinho Nogueira is a great guitarist who unfortanetley got never to be so famous as Baden Powell,Luiz Bonfa or Neco. This nice Nogueira album reminds me a little bit to Bonfa's great albums he recorded for Odeon in the 60's. Some tracks are instrumental and some with Nogueira's pretty warm voice.My favourite one is the vocal song (Moca da chuva-Track 2)- very lovely!! But all other songs are great,too.

Sit down ,close your eyes and enjoy !!

All the best

Tom

Upcoming album posts!!

2006-02-02T14:13:00.000-08:00

Hello,
later I will post the first complete album- Paulinho Nogueira "A nova bossa é violao" RGE (1963)
The last 4-5 years I bought many brazilian CDs in any store and also many Bossa Lps mostly on ebay - so much money on ebay,oh,oh -)) Also I found some nice stuff on my Riotrip 2004.
My love to brazilian music began with my interest to jazz-Cool jazz was my favourite jazzstyle and in reason that I play saxophone as hobbyplayer -Paul Desmond and Stan Getz became my favourite saxophoneplayers .Then one day I took one Desmond CD to my music lesson and learned to play his version of "Black Orpheus". I liked to play bossa so much, that other bossa standards followed- Getz's "Girl from Ipanema" etc...
So Astrud and Joao Gilberto on the Getz albums opened the way to other brazilian musicans...and so it happened all step by step....until today.
So it is a nice idea, I think, to share this feeling of this beautiful music with other music enthusiats who love this kind of music,too and especially to show you some forgotten great musicians.

Reginaldo Bessa "Amor en bossa nova"CD and LP re-release

2006-01-29T14:16:00.000-08:00

Hello to every bossa fan,
Reginaldo Bessa's album "Amor en bossa nova" (1963) will be released by the German label Sonorama (www.sonorama.de) between Febuary and March 2006. I am very happy that I helped in this project. Bessa's album is a very nice one, especially for pure bossa nova fans of Joao Gilberto, Carlos Lyra, Sergio Augusto etc. He recorderd his album during his time in Argentina in 1963 and it includes a lot of his own compositions what gives this album a very interesting touch. Unfortanetly his album was a little bit forgotten and Reginaldo Bessa through that a little bit unknown over the years. But I think for every Bossa Nova fan this album should be a new discover in brazilian bossa nova music.
It will be avaiable at www.sonorama.de and also will be sold by Dustygroove or HMV Japan etc...
More infos on Sonorama website soon!
Some soundclips you can find on Reginaldo Bessa's website: http://www.reginaldobessa.com.br click on discography and on the picture of this album) Also you can listen to the complete first song of this album when you go on the left link to bossa nova- the song starts after waiting some seconds
(cover was taken from Reginaldo Bessa's website for posting here)
Greetings
