I forgot to report on this one:

MAN I DIG THIS CD. It's not entirely true that it has NO bossa nova rythm etc. to it. But it has mainly a Keith Jarrett Trio swing and pulse to it like that on "Changeless" for example (perhaps my favorite of the Trio's works!) There ar no bossa nova CLICHES within. It has a wonderful sound and feel, as the melodies are explored in a sort of Wayne Shorter way on the alto sax and a Jarrett or Solal way on the piano. . . . I'm glad to have it!

Lon: Do you happen to remember what cd this was? (I'm on a Jobim kick right now).

Available on Amazon.com as an MP3 album, also as a disc - and it's on emusic.com, too.

I played this last night:

fredhersch-jobim+cover.jpg

I could see it earning some flack as virtually all the 'Brazil' vanishes from the tunes. Hersch just uses them as material on which to build his own constructions. But I really enjoyed it - didn't come across as the token bossa record.

In a more idiomatic style I really like these Jobim based discs:

A little syrupy in places; but then Jobim's arrangements sometimes did that too.

As I just discovered (several months late, but better late than never), and posted in another thread, Helena Jobim's 1996 biography of her brother- "Um Homem Illuminado" ("An Illuminated Man")- has at long last been translated into english. I believe it was completed in 2011, and became available earlier this year.

I've been complaining about this for so many years, it's hard to believe it finally happened (and that I missed it when it did ^_^ ).

I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but I just became aware of this film (stumbled onto it on Youtube). Overall, it isn't necessarily what I would have preferred to see in a tribute film like this, but it's definitely worth watching, particularly for some rare clips of some great artists from around the world interpreting the music...
