| Jazz for aficionados frogman I listened to the Elis Regina links you posted. Great interpretations of the Bossa Nova classics especially Corcovado! | |
| Jazz for aficionados frogman, Stan Getz could be, and was at times, very violent. If it were not for his son he might have choked his wife to death one night. She had been secretly giving Stan some drug (I forget the name of it) that she got from a doctor.Anyway Her (... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary jo I read the whole interview with Astrud not just part 2. I learned a lot about her. Thanks for the link. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert I respectfully disagree with your opinion that Astrud was not a singer. While she was certainly no Sarah Vaughan, sing she did and "The Girl From Ipanema" became an international hit and the album it is on is still the 10th best selling j... | |

| Jazz for aficionados mary jo I agree 100% with your last post. You do not have to be the perfect singer who can sing in any octave, perfectly on time, and in all genres of music and still sound great. How many vocalists truly possess this gift??Your example of Astrud ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados mary jo I see the frogman has confirmed what you read somewhere....I agree Astrud's vocals were not that impressive on that 1983 live gig. | |

| Jazz for aficionados mary jo, I loved the Rudy Smith link!Great man who took up a relatively obscure instrument (in the jazz idiom) and made it work. | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman3, Great links to Melissa Aldana. Jimmy Heath looks very happy doing his thing at 88 yo! And he especially enjoyed Melissa's soloing.Melissa was tutored by some giants on the sax including Joe Lovano, George Coleman, and Greg Osby. |
