I see that Arlene Golonka passed away Monday at 85. RIP. I mention this because I did not know until today that back in the '60s she was married to Mike Longo. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/arlene-golonka-dead-mayberry-rfd-1234961215/

I am surprised to see George Avakian's name on the label. I remember Chris Albertson telling of the time he was told that if he ever did anything for RCA, he would never again work for Columbia. This recording was made after Avakian's involvement with RCA. Notwithstanding the fact that he was Lloyd's manager, I'm surprised that somebody (William Paley?) let him be involved, and let his name be put on the label.

I remember Don Ellis mentioning Dave Mackay on one of his PJ albums, but I haven't thought about him since. Wikipedia says he passed away last June. Wikipedia and DuckDuckGo have very little to say about Vicky Hamilton. She died in 1971. Anyone know anything about her?

I'm sorry to hear this. Best wishes Allen!

I have enjoyed Cal Tjader's recording of this for years! It's on his CD Here and There. https://www.amazon.com/Here-There-Cal-Tjader/dp/B000000XG0/

Speaking of which, is "gringo" a word used in Brazil, or only in Spanish speaking countries?

My sister was a college student at the time, and she thought that the bossa nova was a dance. Perhaps this was due to the Eydie Gorme hit.

Hi Art Pepper friends and fans. This is Laurie. I had a heart attack last week. I'm getting better, but deliveries of of cds might be a little slower. I'm talking to a musical son-in-law about handling this site in case I'm laid up again. I love digging through this music and knowing there are people out there who love it (almost) as much as I do.

Yes! I met and chatted for an hour with Manfred the afternoon of May 5, 1970. That evening I saw the band play at George Washington University, and Manfred let me plug my cassette recorder into his system! Great memories.

John, I opened up Disc B on May 5 last week. Because I liked the band so much at the time, my curiosity is a big factor in my opinion. I would have loved to have all this music then. But today, I find the film soundtrack more interesting than pleasant to listen to. I can recommend this to the group's fans, but I don't think people here who are unfamiliar with the band would find this box particularly appealling. I would strongly recommend that they get copies of the band's two released albums instead.
