Eric, Diamonds And Pearls is where you can find Gett Off so it´s essential on a Prince discography. Come is another great album where you can find Letitgo, Space, Race & Come. Gold Experience is one of my favs as you can have there Shhhh, Now, Billy Jack Bitch. The Rainbow Children is so well arranged and Crystal Ball is an excellent compilation of all his previous unreleased work and Days of Wild is available there. Exodus from the NPG is for those who likes hard funk and i´m just listening to it right now if you manage to get some live performances, then you´ll get the best of the man. Prince playing live is incomparable. Return to Zenith would be a nice option. NYC or Holland performances are also the best as the audience really interacts with him and Prince loves to play in NYC. peace & b wild Marcus Oliveira

Jim, it is so hard to find inprint albums from Pery Ribeiro!! at least here i mean. EMI reissued 2 of Bossa 3 albums but copy controlled and i refuse myself (so far...) to buy a CC disc. don't waste your time learning portuguese. it's not an easy language at all and useless in every part of the globe. on the internet you can find a lot of lyrics translated to english so don't care about it. my Jobim recommendation will always be "Inédito". for me it´s Jobim at the peak of his powers and the band was fantastic at this time. Joyce is a favorite of mine and i would recommend from her the following titles: .Tom Jobim - Os Anos 60 (1987) her rendition for Corcovado on this one is amazing. 13 tracks sticking only with Jobim's world. .Vinicius de Moraes - Negro Demais No Coraçao (1988) after her tribute to Jobim, this was dedicated to Vinicius. great performances on Canto de Ossanha, Samba da Benção, Deixa e Sabe Você .Joyce Ao Vivo (1989) - live performance where she sings beautifully Todos Os Instrumentos, Mistérios, Triste, Aos Pés Da Cruz, Feminina on Toninho Horta's Diamond Land released by Verve in 1989 she performs a nice duet with him on Beijo Partido. on this album you can find Pat Metheny, Wayne Shorter, Nico Assumpção, Armando Marçal, Jacques Morelembaum, Marcio Montarroyos, Robertinho Silva. i had it on vynil just because of Beijo Partido. when Jon Lucien (a brilliant singer IMHO) after a long absence returned in 1991 with the album Listen Love, released by Mercury, Joyce and him are a perfect matchup singing Mistérios. the album is bad but their performance is very good. about Jon Lucien, he did the best version ever for me of Jobim's Dindi on his album Song For My Lady in 1976 released by Columbia. enough Marcus

my last one was listening to CTI All Stars Live At The Hollywood Bowl when Benson is playing California Dreamin and Hubbard on First Light. MCO

Jim Dye is just perfect

i´m too lazy to search for the previous thread but just want to share about my happiness as my set is finally complete with Disc III on it. Mosaic is top service! Marcus

my life wouldn't have a meaning without Prince i´m so happy that the "regular" audience is enjoying his last album. i think when he'll be dead (and i hope i´m gone before him) some of his underrated albums will be much appreciated. "In the beginning, God made the sea but on the 7th day he made me! my name is Prince" Marcus

well, i haven't voted on this one as the options are not bad at all but they don't truly represent what is Bossa Nova. i was sure that Jim would recommend the Gilberto one. it's a milestone so it´s the one to get to be duly introduced to Bossa Nova. this morning i was listening to the first 2 albums of Jorge Ben (Samba Esquema Novo & Sacudin Ben Samba) and Brandon is also on the right way suggesting Samba Esquema Novo (easily available here) i was lucky enough yesterday btw getting some OOP albums from Jorge such as Solta o Pavao, Força Bruta and many others. a great singer of Bossa Nova is Pery Ribeiro, the son of 2 masters of the Brazilian Music, Herivelto Martins & Dolores Duran. his album "Pery Muito Mais Bossa" is one of my favorites. the same album is available with english lyrics so be sure to get it in portuguese. of course Jobim should be the next step. Jim knows more than me about this so just follow his indications Marcus

my parents are having a hard time to renew their passports as the local authorities are on a long strike. they already have their tickets but they need the passports in order to get the visas (assuming that US consulate will deliver them) so their travel is not 100% confirmed. the good news are as they can´t get a refund as the tickets are promotional ones, i may have to sacrifice myself and replace them i will have this confirmation within this week Marcus

how hard it is to have this japanese BN from Flanagan?

couw, you're a genius

i have some Lightsey in my collection but not this one. my wish list is getting bigger & bigger as i´ve included Doug Carn too! i know it´s written like this on Wayne's album but it´s wrong. "Depois do Amor, O Vazio" is the right way. congrats once again Rock for this great compilation! Marcus Oliveira

this lady could be the best blindfold test EVER!!!!

Hi Evan, excellent news!! PM sent billions of thanks in advance Marcus

Prince is my god, Blue Note is my favorite label, what else can i ask more? Marcus

how many nude girls do you want along with the free ticket? all nights are sold-out now so i can´t attend to the Arkestra performance Marcus

i have listened to this 4 or 5 times and i´m really enjoying it thanks a lot for this great compilation. of course i can't identify players or songs.... track 1 - really interesting. the bongo player is quite good. i´m quite curious to know the answer of this. track 2 - for me the introduction is a Brazilian music known as "Só Louco" but i´m sure it is not. this could easily have words in Portuguese if it was the case very nice tune, even if the piano player is humming all the time the song and this really annoys me a little bit. the drummer seems familiar to me but i don't have a guess. track 3 - this one is terrific!! i NEED to have this! what a nice bass solo...the main theme is very catchy track 4 - my favorite version of this one (Dad's Delight) is from Nnenna Freelon on her third album. on this BFT, i felt in love instantly with this one because of the vocals and the whole arrangement. astonishing for me!!!!! it reminds me Larry Young on the organ...i love more & more the organ sound this is AWESOME!!! track 5 - a samba mood here it´s good, good to relax after getting wild with the previous one track 6 - this voice is familiar....i liked this one a lot....i love when the bass is really present track 7 - nice intro!!! something in the Eddie Gale domain for me. after the chorus vocals i didn't liked that much... track 8 - did nothing for me track 9 - one of my favorites of the compilation specially the piano parts track 10 - this is "India", a genuine Guarânia from Paraguai. never could expect to hear this on a BFT compilation!! what a big suprise! track 11 - not my cup of tea in the beginning but after 1'15" i think it´s quite good track 12 - .... track 13 - did nothing for me too track 14 - this could be R.E.M. rehearsing didn't liked it track 15 - yeaaaah! who sings this? loved this version BFT´s are always so nice! Marcus Oliveira

5th Chivas Jazz Festival i´m quite excited with this new edition. i was lucky enough to get my tickets for the nights of May,5th&6th. Bud Shank Quartet / Louis Hayes & Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band Andrew Hill Trio / Sheila Jordan & Steve Kuhn Trio when i was paying for my ticket i could only think about Rooster as Andrew Hill will be performing for the first time in Brazil. i dunno what to expect from Andrew right now but i´m sure i´ll feel the presence of Rooster in the house Marcus Oliveira

i´m a Harper Brothers fanatic. Dave, get the "Live At The Village Vanguard" album from them. the best one IMHO. i had the chance to discuss with Stephen Scott last year, when he was in Rio playing with Ron Carter, and he was really surprised to learn that i love his work since he was playing with the Harper Brothers.
