and it is Mike. Dom Um Romao is a true master on his instrument. yes, you can! released by DUBAS in 2001 for the first time ever on CD. the following album is available too. Dusty Groove also has from the UK label "Whatmusic" another album from this group expanded to 7 members, that's why the name of the band is different from the previous ones Marcus

BILLIONS OF THANKS Mike for showing some love to this man and this fantastic album IMHO. you have described exactly my feelings about it . i just remember when my father bought the vynil and we listened to it exhaustively. my favorite record of his career. the interaction between him and the percussion is amazing!!! Marcus

Maxjazz Jim you got it. one of my favorite jazz labels nowadays by the way! Marcus

hey Mike, i´m soooooo happy with your thoughts. it´s a real BLAST to produce a Blindfold test!!!!!!! that's what i like on track 1. the mixture of brazilian & american cultures. all of you know that i like funk music a lot and this guy has his deep roots on this musical style. when he decided to move to New York he realized all the time that he lost in his life ignoring brazilian music. he moved back to Brazil and his career changed a lot after that. when it comes to brazilian music Jim is a devil so he is RIGHT about this being Ed Motta. i always thought that only me & his mother would have this CD. yep, you are right, it is Gary Foster. congrats on this one

nope. it would fit perfectly on Venus catalog but it's not Marcus

Jim, your link is not working (at least for me) but i confirm that it's track 7 on my disc Marcus

Evan, some good news arrives by mail right? if you have some trouble later to get track12 i´ll be glad to burn you a copy Marcus

Jim, i knew since the beginning that you would recognize instantly track 5 and the song on track 15. you are a PHD on brazilian music but i thought that both songs needed to be there for major exposure. about track 3 i´ve never thought about it and Martyjazz mentioned the same for me. i also agree that it's too damn short. the entire disc is great except for one vocal. i was expecting for you to be excited with track 11, don't ask me why, just a feeling.... track 15: sorry to disappoint you, it's not an All-Jobim program but her discs are very good. thanks for your comments Marcus

i was going to include another track from the same disc when i decided to pay tribute to my friend Agustin. he deserved an Ellington tune on my BFT. Marcus ps:btw, you are right about track 14. one of my favorite songs from one of my heroes, played in a different way with a touch of Ravel on it. i felt in love instantly to Eric's work after that.

Hey Dan i´m flattered i was expecting you to hate/dislike most of the songs so it's a real nice surprise for me. i have to disagree with you about track 15. this girl can sing and she sings very very well. of course the song itself helps a lot and i agree with that Jim said "This is one of those pieces of his that almost always brings tears to my eyes" Marcus

Dan, email sent thanks in advance Marcus

the guessing season is officially declared!!!! remembering poker game, please show me your hands Marcus, a happy man

Hi Evan, i´m secretely accessing the board at the office i really don't remember which tracks are #11 & #12 but as soon i get home i´ll pm you about them thanks for the compliments Marcus Oliveira

Dan, just before logging myself here i thought: "Dan will be asking me why i didn't started already the discussions..." and i was right Vint, i hope you will enjoy all of them and pleeeeeease don't forget to play Jorge Ben insanely loud!!!!!!!! Tooter & Brad, i´m glad they arrived safely now with 17 members i think we should start our deliberations Marcus

billions of thanks Al MCO

Hola Agustin, me alegra mucho que tu disco llego bien. Abrazos Marcus

thanks Peter, you are a true gentleman MCO

that's why my life is divided in 2: BM & AM MCO

Light as a Feather is one of my favorite discs but Tony Williams is the reason that now i listen more to Captain Marvel rather than Chick´s one. MCO

great sidewinder! i´m glad you got'em thanks tjobbe!! MCO

musician's forum

so far 21/29 members got their discs. i believe we should start our discussion when it comes between 17-20 (bingo!) Daniel A has requested a copy for him 2 days ago Marcus

Nate: i´m sad to know that it's cracked. i guess Peter will provide you a copy. i´m so sorry Brownie: de rien, je suis ravi couw & jim dye: my pleasure bright: i know my debt with you is huge but i hope you will enjoy it mikeweil: thank you for your kindness MCO
