Teasing the Korean

Sad news. A great film composer.

Like JSngry, I too know Neil only through Nilsson's version of "Everybody's Talkin'" and Tim Buckley's (incredible) version of "The Dolphins." I remember reading in his obit that Neil spent the later part of his life as a dolphin researcher in Florida, and that by that time he apparently did not like discussing his musical career at all.

An overlooked gem. Yes, back in the day when everyone was making a bossa nova record, jazzers like me often sneered, but some of them were very good indeed. This one and the Getz/McFarland Big Band Bossa Nova come to mind. Not a single bossa nova on Afro-Bossa. The title track is a bolero. As I previously mentioned, "bossa" was stuck on a lot of albums to sell copies, i.e. Gene Ammons's "Soul Bossa Nova." Regardless of what they call them, some of these are good albums, even if they're not bossa. "Afro-Bossa" is more of an exotica album. That and "Far East Suite" are filed right between "Fire Goddess" by Webley Edwards (Capitol) and "Exotic Percussion and Brilliant Brass" by John Evans (Directional Sound). No reason for me to file either in the jazz section, or they would get lost.

I vote that we turn this into a sub-forum and try out some of these topics.

I could contribute to that thread!
