Hermeto Pascoal & Big Band "Natureza Universal"

This album gets more interesting the more I hear it. Wild, eccentric melodies and ideas, ecstatic samba energy, but played with concise precision and passion. Amazing music.

Spun some LPs today. 

First up one of my favorite Santana LPs, “Borboletta.” I really like how Santana had assimilated and collated things he learned from playing with McLaughlin (the way I hear it using power tube distortion and feedback sustain in a new way } and  I confess the Chinmoy inspired lyrics appealed to me when this was first out on LP and still does.

Then “Friday Night at the Blackhawk” Miles Davis. .. this is from a 2 LP Columbia Special Products release. I have this material in many forms and like playing this 2 LP set.

Then on to Bob Dylan “Shadows in the Night” on LP. This is actually my least favorite of the Dylan “Standards” albums, I don’t think he quite had his vocal approach down pat yet, but I really do like the arrangements and playing.

Then on to a cd, the new Blue Note, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers “Just Coolin’” . . . not the best thing the label ever held back, but nice to have. Sure sounds good on cd. People are complaining about the packaging but I like it.

One more to call it a day, "GURIS: Celebrating the Music of Hermeto Pascoal" Jovino Santos Neto & André Mehmari, with Hermeto Pascoal.
