23 Mosaic Sets 8 Selects the missing Selects should be in Florida on the following days i´m not counting burns or mp3s.... Marcus Oliveira

Rossiter Road & The Awakening are my favorites Marcus

Dexter & Monk for me MCO

Vint, track 4 has been already revealed if you want a clue for track 10 you should think about Hank Jones track 2 was recorded at Van Gelder's track 6 is something inspired on Daniel A track 13 is from one of the brothers...not the most famous one of course track 8 is from L.A. the drummer on track 9 is loved by all of us none of the guesses so far on these tracks are close from the truth Marcus

Same here since I have my BFT master finished

thanks a lot John!! it was a real blast to produce this BFT B-) after re-reading all posts it is amazing how the bass of track 7 is constantly mentioned as a negative point of the song. track 10 everybody's loving it but i should say that the rest of the album is far away from this particular style the overall opinion about some tracks is quite the same and this is good or bad? Marcus

Jacques Loussier - The Best of Play Bach (Philips 1984) Paulinho da Viola - Paulinho da Viola (1975) Remastered Pat Martino - All Sides Now (BN)

7 of the CTI's UK (as they have reduced their prices) and one from Meirelles e Copa 7 Marcus

thanks Nate for your input. i was quite sure that my selections wouldn't excite you but i´m pleased you got a playable copy. Marcus

thanks Noj for your kindness i´m glad you have enjoyed that much track 13. this song has a catchy melody. Marcus ps:Big Al is the man B-)

Noj & John B

one of the key things about brazilian music are the lyrics. to not understand them takes away a lot of their strength. how did you guys handle this? one of my desert island discs is from Miltinho - "Miltinho Convida". he is an unique singer on brazilian music and i´m passionated by his work since i was a kid. listening to this gem today made me thought about hearing this music not understanding all the poetry included. it is a pity!!! by the way, this album includes some of his hits revisited on a duo perfomances with a lot of guests such as stated on the cover this disc is so hard to find nowadays unfortunately Marcus

i got the João Bosco Songbook yesterday and it´s very very good Marcus

yes Pete it is, the other one is Chico & Caetano Juntos e Ao Vivo. i have almost of the whole performances, exception to the last program, on CD transferred from the videotapes i did when they "re-runned" the show on 1986. the tunes released on the disc are there too. i did it for a great friend of mine who lives in Canada and she is crazy about brazilian music. the material included on the CD is: 1 Festa imodesta (Caetano Veloso) Interpretação: Caetano Veloso / Chico Buarque 2 Billy Jean (Michael Jackson) Interpretação: Caetano Veloso 3 Roberto corta essa (Jorge Ben) Interpretação: Jorge Ben Jor 4 Adíos nonino (Piazzola) Interpretação: Astor Piazzola 5 Tiro de misericórdia (Aldir Blanc - João Bosco) Interpretação: Elza Soares 6 Não quero saber mais dela (Almir Guinéto - Sombrinha) Interpretação: Beth Carvalho / Caetano Veloso / Chico Buarque / Fundo de Quintal 7 London, London (Caetano Veloso) Interpretação: Caetano Veloso / Paulo Ricardo 8 Águas de março (Tom Jobim) Interpretação: Caetano Veloso / Chico Buarque / Tom Jobim 9 Sentimental (Chico Buarque) 10 Luz negra (Irahy Barros - Nelson Cavaquinho) Interpretação: Cazuza 11 Merda (Caetano Veloso) Interpretação: Caetano Veloso / Chico Buarque / Luiz Caldas / Rita Lee a must have IMHO Marcus

Jim, according to the liner notes half of the material included on the box never appeared on CD before. EMI Brazil authorized Max & Wilson to do the remastering process from the master tapes. they also discovered that all the albums recorded up to 1967 are in MONO except for "Show em Simonal". i have been listening and discovering the music of Simonal the last few days and i should say that i´m very excited. for all of you brazilian music lovers i recommend that set Dusty Groove is already offering this one and here is their review: (their english is much better than mine ) "An incredible package of work from one of Brazil's most unique artists -- featuring all the best bits recorded during his glory days at EMI/Odeon! During the 60s, Wilson Simonal had a very soulful sound that was a real precursor to the samba soul scene of the 70s -- a bit in the mode of Jorge Ben, but often recorded with lively, larger arrangements -- in a cool mix of the groovy, the soulful, and the samba -- with a sound that was always pretty darn fresh! The package brings together 12 classic albums from Wilson's years at Odeon -- plus a full CD of rare material, and another collection of singles-only tracks -- making for a whopping package that includes more work than we could have ever hoped for! The whole thing's packaged in a cool slipcover with a large book that features great photos, images, and text in Portuguese -- and albums included in the set are Algo Mais, A Nova Dimensao Do Samba, Wilson Simonal (1965), S'Imbora, Vou Deixar Cair, Tempos De Pilantragem, Show Em Simonal, Simonal, Joia Joia, and all 4 volumes of the landmark Alegria Alegria series!" i got mine for 59USD Marcus

my latest additions: Joao Bosco - Songbook Joao Bosco (Lumiar) Wilson Simonal - Wilson Simonal na Odeon 1961-1971 Boxset9cds Bill Doggett - Wow! Gonzalo Rubalcaba - Discovery! Live At Montreux Jimmy McGriff - Electric Funk John Coltrane - Bethlehem Years Miles Davis - Côte Blues Woody Shaw - Solid Woody Shaw - Little Red's Fantasy Woody Shaw - Imagination

i read that yesterday on the internet and listened to all the music that i have from him since then it is sad to know that someone who provided to us some of the best music in the 80's on the funk scene died largely forgotten his collaborations with Teena Marie/Bruni Pagan were very good too and let's not forget his side project with the Stone City Band and their sensational Ladie's Choice!! thanks Rick Marcus

thanks Brad for your kind words!! i was thinking about the concept of blindfold tests and i realized that it would be wonderful if we could meet to listen to a BFT. i can imagine a live discussion between us absorbing the music, guessing players and etc... Marcus

i´m glad you got it safely Andrew!! i subscribe to your recommendation. both albums are great! Bach to the Future released by Chrysalis is also very very nice Marcus

Hey Al, thank you very much! i´m really flattered i should admit that i´m listening to this BFT a lot since some of my favorite music in life are there Marcus

i´m glad the board is back! i was having troubles to browse since thursday... Marcus
