Angel Bat Dawid, The Oracle (International Anthem)

[Peter Friedman]

[jazzbo]

Charlie Byrd "My Inspiration--Music of Brazil" Concord cd

I bought this because of Maucha Adnet--I buy anything she sings on. It's easy listening jazz, and raising the temperature a little here in cold NE Ohio.

Ella Fitzgerald with the Duke Ellington Orchestra "At Duke's Place" Verve cd

This is one of my favorite of Ella's collaborations. Just so wonderfully relaxed and the arrangements so tenderly enveloping her. Great music and engineering.

Good, swinging stuff.

I pulled out the three volumes of this series to listen to this week. These "Songbook" series are excellent compilations. 

Vinicius de Moraes "Songbook, Volume 1"

[HutchFan]

I love how LOOSE the music on this album is.  The sensation of imprecision -- whether real or not -- is just fantastic.

Yep.  It's a cryin' shame that it didn't last longer -- because they signed some interesting artists: Flora & Airto, Lester Bowie, Mike Westbrook, Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, a.o.
