i´m trying to get used to have 34

and i thought i was the only lunatic doing this Marcus

That's what I do as well. put me on that list too! MCO

well ditto!

i wouldn't say mediocre but i´m still trying to digest this particular album Marcus

catesta, you got the right one when it comes to beer in Brazil about the girls i should say that this photograph doesn't show the real potential of the cariocas at the beach MCO

thanks/gracias/merci to all of you guys for your kind messages i had a pleasant day and got some cds too it was the first time ever that my mom accepted to give me a cd rather than pijamas... as i always say, it's an honour to be among all of you on this great board with so many special friends Marcus

thanks Moose for describing perfectly my feelings about this great board Marcus

Happy Birthday Brad!!! you picked a nice day to come to this world Marcus

maybe you can try this one Marcus

Harold Mabern/Kieran Overs - Philadelphia Bound Jessica Williams - ...And Then, There's This! Benny Golson - Time Speaks The Modern Jazz Quartet - Under The Jasmin Tree

i agree. got it this weekend Marcus

voted NO. in general lines i agree with Mike's thoughts Marcus

Woody Shaw with the Tone Jansa Quartet

Tenorio Jr - Embalo Sergio Mendes & Bossa Rio - Você Ainda Não Ouviu Nada!

it seems that the partners of whatmusic had a big fight and the activities are very slow right now. Durval Ferreira has also terminated his relationship with them it seems at least that the artists were paid for the reissues and their remasterings are good the releases of Copa 7, Edison Machado & Dom Salvador Trio are now OOP on CD according to their website. i think they are not overpriced in UK but here in Rio i should pay between 20,66-26,33 USD to have them Marcus

nope Jim, far from this.... MCO

Evan, make that experience a little bit expensive MCO

sorry Jim but this i dunno... if you like them maybe you should also check "Os Cariocas" and "Quarteto em Cy" (only composed by girls) Marcus

Jim, this is the one i got very cheap 3 weeks ago and it's very very good. i´m sure you would like it it seems there is another album from them released in Japan but i´m not sure Milton Nascimento was still on the band Marcus

got these today: Julinho - O Som do Julinho Salvador Trio - S/T both are truly great!!!! MCO

with lots of time to listen to some music i spent the whole day listening to brazilian soul/funk. i don't remember this genre to be covered here so i think it would be nice to put some lines and indications about it first of all it' s one of my favorite musical styles blending the american funk with our culture and our groove some fine recommendations: kinda hard to find but Copa 7 was one of the finest bands in the 70's and their hit "Mulher Absoluta" is a killer!! Banda Black Rio is one of the masters of brazilian soul/jazz/funk. they only have 3 albums but they are milestones in Brazil: Maria Fumaça, Saci Perere & Gafieira Universal Tim Maia was the first to develop the brazilian soul/funk. he recorded several albums during his career and was one of the most powerful voices that i ever heard in my life. Tim was a master performing live with his band "Vitoria Regia" and most of the finest studio musicians were discovered by him Cassiano is also very important with a classic recording in 1975 "Cu Ban Soul 18 Kilates" other names are Gerson King Combo, Uniao Black, Tony Tornado, Lady Zu, Dom Mita, Dom Salvador of course Jorge Ben fits into this category and the next generation who keeps the flame alive is composed by Ed Motta, Claudio Zoli, Fernanda Abreu, Wilson Simoninha, Skowa & Sandra de Sá Marcus

Jim, are you familiar with the Quarteto Sambacana? Marcus
