The New Beat: What Brazilian music are you listening to now?

Prado Pereira De Oliveira - Joao Gilberto (Warner|Brazil)

Issued as part of the WEA 'Brasil Superstar 1200' series.

A 'live' recording from a 1980 TV broadcast. It's a pleasant enough listen but now and again the sound quality varies slightly, but it's no big deal.

This disc is currently available (in EU) on CD at budget price.

 

I bought these two CD recently to complete my A.C.Jobim collection.

 

All great music Xabby!

I just received a CD copy of the above various artists release Love, Strings And Jobim and was delighted to find I also really enjoyed the other 10 various artists tracks that were included on it. For a long time I thought I didn't need this one because I already had the only two Jobim tracks already on the superb Jobim only compilation Composer (Warner Archives).

The Composer compilation also includes the entire A Certain Mr. Jobim plus 4 bonus tracks from the A Certain Mr Jobim sessions (all previously unreleased alternate takes), plus the entire The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim (all album tracks in original running order).

 

Don´t forget this wonderful album: Tom Jobim - Inedito (The Unknown) (1987). Jobim´s 60th birthday was celebrated with this 24 tunes recorded privately in his house. It was his favourite album.

 

Beautiful sounding, mellow cd from Brazilian trombonist Vittor Santos--"Renewed Impressions" on Adventure Music.

 

Tempo Dos Mestres - Fabiano Do Nascimento (Now-Again) CD

Recorded 2016

Presented in triple gatefold / 6 panel eco (carboard) wallet sleeve.

The playing on this sounds just as beautiful and natural as suggested by the very tasteful looking sleeve.

Announcing – Fabiano do Nascimento “Tempo dos Mestres”

"It finds its roots in the depths of the Amazon rain forest, passed down through generations of Native Brasilians, and is imbibed by the Afro-Brasilian culture that arose after Portuguese colonization.

The album was produced and mixed by Dança dos Tempos producer Luther Russell, who recorded Do Nascimento and his band directly to a 1/2″ Ampex tape machine with engineer Jason Hiller. It was sparingly mastered by Elysian Masters to focus on the subtleties of the performances. Do Nascimento’s fans include legendary percussionist Airto Moreira, who recorded Dança dos Tempos and can be found playing live with Do Nascimento. “He’s Brazilian but (his mind is) from a place in Brazil that is not common.” Moreira states. “Fortunately, we still have some musicians who like to play music and who like to touch the instrument and who like that energy!”

 

"Canto do Rio" Jose Santos Neto Quintet.

 

The newest from the whacky 81 year old Brazilian genius Hermeto Pascoal is spinning now and being enjoyed on headphones. Interesting big band writing and playing, sounds very European to me at least so far.

Great sound too.

 

Finally got my hands on the Polysom 180 gm pressings of the Tribalista LPs. Very, very happy

 

Charles Gavin asked Marisa Monte to release her later albums on vinyl, this news to happen!

Great show btw:

Luiz Melodia
Album: Perola Negra (1973)

 

Jongo Trio (1965)

 

Ocean Memories - Bola Sete (Samba Moon) 2CD

All tracks recorded in 1972 at Fantasy but never released at the time.

The music on disc one of this set was first issued on LP in 1975 as Ocean on John Fahey's Takoma label.

All tracks on Disc 2 are previously unreleased.

The double CD was re-issued in a triple gatefold cardboard sleeve. CD mastering and sound is of the highest quality. The package includes 8 page booklet that contains all the low down.

This is all blissful solo acoustic guitar playing that I urge you to check out. If the sleeve doesn't grab you then the music will!

 

More wonderful music from Bola Sete. Can't get enough of this man's recordings (what a discovery he has been a discovery for me!)
