I suspect Brazil popular music NOW, is Western style (nuts and bolts) pop music sung in Portuguese. Like the rest of the world.
In any event, not enough there for all the fuss. Take away Herbie, and there is even less.
I realize Mendes is lite, fun music, but that is how Brazil markets itself.
After all, i’m sure they don’t want to be known for burning down the Amazon rain forest. Or cops shooting people from helicopters.
But, Babes, Butts and beaches?? Rio, here I come.
Cheers
Of course you are right, in a sense.

Every time I hear that soprano sax, it's like I'm hearing it for the first time.
You do realize that is Victor Goines of the JALC Orchestra. Cheers |
Obviously a lot of Dancing going on which I remember you railing for in the past.
Not me. Pops. He said, if you can't dance to it, it ain't Jazz. He was coming from the source, where Jelly Roll said Jazz was 'a way' of playing music. I took that to mean, you played the usual stuff, but in a 'Jazzy' manner, i.e. lots of improvisation. All of which made folks wanna dance or shake their various body parts. Cheers |
hahahaha I’m on the right thread. This is the thread for great music. I have that CD, with a different cover, I love it. Bluegrass is not as far from Jazz as you might think. For instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRi6yhqmuxUI know you like it. :) Cheers |
Rok, Than what do you think when you listen Acman’s posts? He has the most eclectic taste. That is what is known as understatement!!! A great thread member. He never starts 'Ruckuses'. He turned me on to this, which I purchased: Lester Bowie’s Brass fantasy -- I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU ECM label https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ney1VWrcywThe CD is much, much better. Highly Recommended. Cheers |
Nascimento: Does not sound Brazilian to me. A prime example of music flow. It goes from the West to the undeveloped countries, not the other way round. I realize you did not present it as such, but, it is a prime example. Nothing Brazilian (indigenous) about it, not even the language, if he is speaking Portuguese. Should have been Hancock's album featuring Milton on vocals. My idea of Brazil. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8LBvgwDjyghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7GsuqCTnQcSounds good. Party, pretty girls etc... Cheers |
Apparently you don't understand your own term (nuts and bolts). My statement is 100% accurate. And that includes 'the girl from ipanema'. Where is the BRAZILIAN part? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL3Q1uWfOu8Without the input of music and cultural exchanges and cultural contamination from foreign climes, there would be no "Girl from Ipanema'. Now, if you and Dr Livingstone were chopping your way thru the rain forest and discovered a tribe of people unknown to the world, and they were playing / jamming to 'Ipanema', then you would have a point. There is nothing new under the sun. There may have been once. Cheers |
Alex:
Most of your posts are new to me. Both the music and the artists. Including the two you just posted. I think it's because of the record labels. For some reason, most of my music collection is on the 'usual suspect' labels. Probably because I buy the 'usual suspect' artists.
Cheers |
you always buy the usual suspect music and post the usual suspect artist.
But boy o boy, what a list of suspects!! Cheers |
Alex: Sort of like you, all the music I post is for the viewers. I certainly don't think I will ever post anything that The Frogman or the OP are not aware of. They already know everything there is to know concerning Jazz. In fact, they are so bored with Jazz they have moved on to noise. Sort of like Sinbad Miles and Stellar Regions Coltrane.
One of reasons that I post here (and forgive me for beeing pretentious) is to 'save' some long forgotten music or players of complete oblivion.
I post, so they won't forget who created and defined this music. Cheers |
Maybe my first Jazz purchase. Hanau, Germany 68-72. Sansui Receiver, Dual 1229Q table, JBL 4311 speakers. Like a lot of people I started with the Soul or R&B Jazz. Probably the only album I have ever owned on the Cadet label. I think the musicianship of the usual suspects is much, much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfl5AVTrMfESome folks like nightclub Jazz, drinking and women. Partying. I prefer to listen to Jazz played in a studio or concert hall. Cheers |
Mary Jo,
Thank You Jazz Queen, for showing us the future. I was listening to Louis Armstrong on my rig when I opened your post. I thought I was in one of those Star Trek, tears in the space-time continuum.
I don’t understand why they insist on calling it Jazz. Showing disrespect I guess.
Cheers
Make sure you read the comments on the clip. I am not alone. |

Why the outrage? I’m not outraged. In fact I am lmao. What it is, is the logical conclusion / destination, of all the noise posted on this site. You can’t pick and choose. "You got to dance with who you brung. " (Old Texas proverb). Cheers I could have sworn Zorn considers himself a Jazz player. Guess not. |

@schubert :
Blood bath (heads rolling), imminent at Ft Hood.

Messiah:
Your post is the 'Goldie locks' version / size. The added instruments made a difference. I was wondering about the Trumpets on 'Hallelujah', of course they were there, I just didn't see them.
Cheers |

Thanks Frogman. I considered that, but thought, these guys are much too serious for such nonsense. Silly me.
Cheers

I feel that the piano, the rhythm section in general, could have been mixed a little hotter. I agree. They, esp Peterson, almost seem to be in another room. Cheers |

Great stuff, esp Waller and Ella with Duke and Pops. The sound of Ed Sullivan’s voice made me cringe. I remember back in the day when his show was the hottest thing on Sunday night TV. Back in the days of three networks only. I remember when the Beatles and Elvis were on his show, he seemed to visually scold the young girls who were in the audience, when they screamed. Elvis even had to tone down his hip gyrations in the name of ’decency’. I remember thinking then, just who does this guy think he is? Apparently a King Maker in NYC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI_MjxTUjGEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoMbeDhG9fUCheers |

Miles:
Cookin’, Walkin’, Workin’ , Relaxin’, Steamin’, Gotta be the Coolest Cat in Jazz!!!

The blues songs played by Burrell and other Jazz players are way way too sophisticated to ever be played in a Delta Juke Joint. The Frogman knows the words to say. Say them. Two Blues songs: I'm not sure Pops ever set foot in the Delta. He played blues fit for Carnegie Hall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WPCBieSESImy posse and I used to hear this outside of 'Red Rubys' while riding our bicycles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jcGY7NbaQwTalk to us Frogman. Cheers |
Speaking of fowl, The Frogman chickened out

If it's for a blues guy, it better be Charlie Patton.

Charlie Chan was Bird's wife, I think.

The Mississippi River Delta, includes land on both sides of the Mississippi River. It includes several states. Arkansas and Louisiana being among them. The Mississippi (the State) Delta, extends from just south of Memphis, TN to Vicksburg, MS. I have a Mississippi Delta Blues Map that I purchased from the museum in Clarksdale, MS. I was stunned at the number of Blues musicians from the same area. Not from the entire state of Mississippi, just the delta region of Mississippi. Pops was not born nor raised in that Delta. https://www.google.com/search?q=mississippi+delta+blues+map&sxsrf=ALeKk00CV8iItoCIlGfmyzP0dlglmf...Cheers |
Rok, I bet you Europe is better than Mississippi.
If you mean in regard to race, I'll take that bet. Cheers |
@frogman my, my aren't we touchy today. @orpheus10 if you were in Hattiesburg, you were no where near Tallahatchie County.
don't live long if they move to Europe, even as nice as the people treat them
nice as who treats them? you along with a certain other poster, need to make yourselves smart on Europe. It ain't what you think it is. Cheers The Lord would not put more on me than he knew I could handle. |
@orpheus10 I’m selling all my possessions and heading for the promised land today!!! So they can treat me good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yu9hjIzBOUThey loved everyone when there were just a few artist, like Monk, Richard Wright, James Balwin, Mingus etc............. my, my how things change when the great unwashed show up. Cheers |
Practically ANY change to an audio system will cause a change in its sound. One of the biggest “influencers” in the perceived characteristics of sound is RESONANCE. Practically anything one does to a physical object will change its resonance characteristics and hence its sound. The same thing happens in live sound and with musical instruments. Change something on the instrument and you will change its sound.
Nein nein nein !!!!! Not true, and worst than that, is the core element in the entire HE / audiophile con. Cheers |
The noise you hear is empty cup of tea coming to your direction....
Why must there always be violence. Can't we all just get along? Cheers |
She sucks here...if I may say so about her
What's that noise I hear? Does anyone else hear it? Really irritating. Seems to be emanating from Eastern Europe. Cheers |
Today's Listen: Jimmy Heath -- LOVE LETTER with / Kenny Barron(piano), David Wong(bass), Lewis Nash(drums), Monte Croft(Vibes), Russell Malone(guitar), Wynton Marsalis(trumpet), Gregory Porter(vocals), Cecile McLorin Salvant(vocals) Very well done. I would have liked a few up-tempo tunes, but, I listened to it three times upon receipt, it's very good. Excellent booklet with great photos and notes. Verve Label. Heath's last recording. Seems as if everyone is dying. left alone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuEvYE5KEUk la mesha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvYFkYirHjQ don't misunderstand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYH7J0zY7E8 fashion or passion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSqHqQhqORk Cheers |
Soldier, are you still mad at me?
Mad about you? Yes. Mad at you? Never. Cheers |
