So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Now on to this less popular Miles Davis collaboration with Gil Evans that none-the-less I like a lot.

After a lunch break I had to listen to disc 1 of this building block of my musical world. . . 

Miles Davis "Bitches Brew" Mobile Fidelity SACD

And then it was on to this disc which is a fine one. Duduka is such a fantastic drummer--and the berimbau feature here is so flippin' well recorded. And there's Maucha Adnet on hand as well. A killer album of Brazilian jazz.

Duduka Da Fonseca "Samba Jazz Fantasia"

 

 

Now onto this one . . .I haven't played this one often enough. I'm going to fix that.

Had to squeeze this one into today's listening. "Matita Perê" Antônio Carlos Jobim, Polygram Brazil cd.

I'm not always that big a fan of Ogerman's work with Jobim but there's magic in these orchestrations, and Jobim worked seriously here to create a splendid album. I like his multi-tracked vocals and his singing overall is so heart-felt. One of my favorite albums.

Also released with this cover by Verve:

It sure must be ! 
It is possible that I don´t have all Milestones, since especially in the early 90´s a didn´t have much time for music, I was doin a second job to my main job, was fallin in love with the girl who became my wife....
Now I´m listening more to the live albums, but this here sure is fine, ballads I suppose.

I can't say with any certain confidence what this music wants of me...

Mac Gollehon "Straight Ahead"

Wow, that sure was a Mac ATTACK. I'm awake now.

Re-visting this one.

Looks like a killer band. That's a strange looking instrument on the cover. I wonder if that's some sort of valve trombone? There's a picture on the back of the CD:

[jazzbo]

Yes, I think it's a type of valve trombone and Mac solos on that on the session.
