CROWN CST302 Bossa Nova

Buddy Collette, Howard Roberts, Jim Helms, Mel Pollan, Leo Acosta, Darias

It was issued twice on Crown. The first version is the one you cited, Crown 302.

It was later issued as Crown 460, and titled "The Girl from Ipanema." This version has two additional tunes: The title track by Jobim and "Background for Buddy." The tune titles on this version are in English rather than Portuguese.

Either version is worth picking up. It's rare to find a bossa LP from that period that doesn't contain the same 10 or 12 Jobim tunes.

yes, Buddy definitely seemed to be enjoying himself. he conducted the band from his wheelchair in the audience close to the stage. he was mobbed with well-wishers, gifts, cards, flowers, balloons, big birthday cake, etc. so many of his family members were there: his "kids," grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Buddy's mind is still sharp as a tack and he can still talk his ass off as well! lots of very valuable information in his head and he loves to share it.

Wow, was it a public event? Sorry I missed it.

I did go to some of the World Stage Jazz Festival yesterday but left too early from that. But it didn't seem like it was part of that.

Oh, I had so wanted to go, Valerie, but I had family in town. He's such a wonderful man; met him a few years ago at the Autry.

I believe it was at Catalina's.

Jim Helms later went on to score the Kung Fu TV series. If you can find tha LP on WB, it's all Jim Helms music (with a lot of dialog overdubbed).

yes, it was open to the public and took place at Catalina's in Hollywood, starting with brunch. good music too played by talented musicians who love Buddy.

i usually attend the World Stage Festival but unfortunately had to go to work after Buddy's Brunch! especially wanted to see Bertha Hope with Tootie Heath, et al., and Phil Ranelin's group.

Did he do anything from the greatest album ever made? I'm referring to, of course, "Jazz Heat, Bongo Beat" by the Latin Jazz All-Stars, also on Crown.
