Matthew Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Egads I'm pretty sure of the recording, and the Italian pianist's name has just shot out of my head. I'll have to search my racks soon to find it and I'll try to remember to revisit this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) One of these, perhaps? Edit: Just played the latter - no Jobim there but other Brazilian composers. So it can't be that one. Edited January 23, 2011 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeline Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Bollani's "Falando de Amor" is an all-Jobim disc.... 1. Falando de Amor 2. Só Tinha de ser com você 3. Angela 4. Luiza 5. Retrato em branco e preto 6. Agua de beber 7. Tema do amor por Gabriela 8. Cancao do amor demais 9. Aguas de Março 10. Pois e 11. Samba de uma nota so Haven't heard it myself, but I'd like to! I really love "Bollani carioca." Edited to add... reissue cover. Available on Amazon.com as an MP3 album, also as a disc - and it's on emusic.com, too.

jazzbo Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 It's this one, Joe Carter's post above refderences it: I really like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeline Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Ah! Thanks so much for the clarification. I'll try and track it down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Many Jobim tunes on this one - got this in a sale last week and dig it immensely. Edited January 23, 2011 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 A little nudge to say that I've listened to some Jobim today and that's never a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Good to see this thread back up. With the great wide world of music always pulling me in different directions these days, I sometimes go too long without listening to Jobim's music. What did you spin, Lon?

Jim R Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 That's one that I haven't played in quite a while. Time to remedy that. Urubu also comes to mind as something I've neglected for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Those two are perfect for listening back-to-back (although I s'pose one could listen to them facing forward). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I played this last night: 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.

Jim R Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 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. http://books.google.com/books?id=Fv2z_0KZNrUC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false http://chicagotheband.us/profiles/blogs/antonio-carlos-jobim-an-illuminated-man 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 ).

Jim R Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 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...
