Bluesnik Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Three questions... 1) Who or what the heck was "Moacir Santos Maestro"? 2) What and where is the building on the cover of this album?? 3) What in the hell is this doing on Blue Note??? Moacir Santos was part of a wave of Brazilan musicians who came to the States invited by Creed Taylor to record watered down bossa tailored to the pop sensibilities of the moment (think Sergio Mendes, Wanda de Sa) following the seminal 1962 CArnegie HAll concert that introduced Amreican audiences to the bossa nova generation. Move to the seventies and the more jazz oriented of those artists, already permanently living in the USA, were working in fusion/jazz. People who had been into jazz before bossa nova, like Flora PUrim, Dom Um Romao, Airto Moreira, Joao Donato, Eumir Deodato. Moacir Santos also did that brazilian/jazz/fusion thing so representative of that era (I don't like fusion, I prefer the sixties) and recorded for BLue Note, the BN of the Seventies, mind you. I know of at least one more BN album by him (called Saudade if I remember well) which was recently reissued by Toshiba in Japan. And I think there is a third. The record whose cover is posted here was called Maestro and like his whole BN run is from the mid seventies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Anybody know where this building is/was?? - and what it is/was?? (Came here to post it myself, only to find it was already here.) It's a sculpture by Antoine Pevsner photographed from an unusual angle. Here's another of his: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) And then these ... Although the Stan Getz cover is a bit of an oddity: Using a FRENCH street scene to illustrate music recorded in SWEDEN? (Or is it an illustration of Verve's/the U.S. view of YURP? "France or Sweden - it's all the same to us ..." :lol: ) Edited March 7, 2010 by Big Beat Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Never owned this album but I was always fascinated by the cover on one of those EMI Harvest inner sleeves: And here's the gatefold: All very late-60s/early 70s...Dr. Who, Doomwatch.... And where I saw it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
