fent, I remember seeing TWO Spanish Blue Notes of Gilberto; it appears they split them into two cds. . . . But I haven't seen either available in a long time.

I think you can trust VS . . . they may be scrubbed a little with noise reduction, but probably not too badly. Looks like a good deal from cdu for Cash fans!

I'm way too juice dehydrated to say much of anything. . . .

Yes figures, I get footnoted twice in a book and it gets cut out! This was available for about that price in hardback through Daedalus for some time but I believe that bird has flown. . . .

Excellent job Jim; some great music in there on those that I have heard! Also, the Paul Winters were reissued on Collectables much cheaper than the Japanese versions!

Well, I got the four new box sets today. I couldn't resist the preorder price from cduniverse; I got them all for less than ninety dollars total. And as Clem has noted elsewhere. . . they are spectacular reissues. Beautiful boxes, beautiful booklets, beautiful digipaks, beautiful sound. . . . And it appears that there is quite a bit of material from 78s that are not within the 102 other cd releases. Really, when you hold these in your hands you just marvel at their organized beauty. Some spectacular photos and paintings and handbills and song sheets and. . . . Going to be slowly savoring these for some time!

Possibly still available! Out of stock right now from Dusty Groove, but they've had it consistently before. . . . Various -- Tom Jobim Raros Compassos . . . CD . . . $29.99 Revivendo (Brazil), 1950s/1960s/1970s (3CD) Condition: New Copy Out Of Stock: Hit the 'Send Request' button to receive an email notice if the item comes back in. A secret treasure! This cool 3 CD set brings together 75 rare Jobim tracks -- most of them recorded by other singers, and most of them pretty darn obscure! Given the amount of Jobim rehash material that's been on the market since his death, we're extra happy to see a set like this that pushes the envelope a bit further -- and which goes out of its way to include the kinds of work that will keep on evolving Jobim's legacy for years. A good deal of the material seems to be remastered from vinyl copies, and the sound isn't always great -- but the project is legit from what we can tell, and the set's gotten an awful lot of good press from Brazil. Way too many titles to mention here, but the set features work by Norma Suely, Nelly Martins, Mario Reis, Wilson Miranda, Ana Lucia, Dick Farney, Carlos Jose, Mara e Cota, Edu Da Gaita, Carlos Augusto, Maria Helena Raposo, and many other obscure Brazilian singers! Also do a search at Dusty Groove for "Jobim". . . you'll see quite a bit.

A number of these have been reissued in Brazil, in Japan. . . even in the US (in the case of the Gilberto lps, tnree of which were all reissued on a single Pacific Jazz cd that has long been out of print). There was a three cd set of early Jobim works (as arranger, producer, etc.) that may still be around. . . . Some of these are still available. . . .Dusty Groove has a wallet draining amount of albums like this. . . .

I'm sworn to secrecy. . . but. . . I've been told it WILL be released in good time. Not that anyone should doubt that it would!

It ain't braggin, if it's the truth.....

I'm sorry I missed it! I was so impressed seeing Marchel that I don't think I'll ever forget it!

I believe I have this material under a different bootleg guise. Interesting. . . especially the last parts which sort of herald a change and a move towards a more songlike structure that would be picked up "after the retirement." Would be nice stuff to have in a box from Columbia. . . and it wouldn't surprise me to see one one day. Dollars to be made off Miles=Sony eventually getting around to it.

Interesting. I wasn't bored at all anywhere. I don't know what would be so "in joke" about this film. . . . I don't think I missed anything and I've never read the book or perish the thought heard any radio shows (I am NOT a radio show listener!) I thought this was quite well done in comparison with most movies these days; entertaining, not at all plagued with random sex and violence to give it juice.

Wolff mentioned it. . . . But then he's nearly omniscient, he probalby just heard the wind whispering it to him. . .

I see they are both going to appear in "Memoirs of a Geisha."

No problem!

Okay jazzhound, once again have to differ in opinion with you. That is a great album (in my opinion!)

Why should she be mentioned in a Ziyi thread? I haven't seen much of her work, but she hasn't intrigued me as Ziyi's has.

Three 45rpm box of Metronome All Stars on RCA.

Oh yes, within the first twenty minutes. . . .
