Laurindo Almeida - Outra Vez (1992) Music

Posted by tiburon at Aug. 19, 2012

The gracefully aging Brazilian guitarist takes a trio into a jazz club in Pacific Beach (near San Diego) and delivers a lovely, swinging set of transcriptions and arrangements of music from three continents, bracketed by the music of Jobim ("Outra Vez" to start, and a medley of hits to close). While Almeida was not a technical dazzler at age 74, it doesn't matter; his selection of notes, his feeling for the samba, his selection of material, and his fine-tuned timing with his rhythm section (Bob Magnusson, bass; Jim Plank, drums) make this a hugely enjoyable record.

FLAC (tracks), Lossless / MP3 320 kbps | 2:52:37 | 396 Mb / 1.02 Gb
Genre: Jazz Latin / Label: Verve

The Bossa Nova Albums collects five of the pinnacle recordings from the best American foray into Brazilian jazz, which began in 1962 with the Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd collaboration Jazz Samba and peaked one year later with the fourth album in the ad hoc series, Getz/Gilberto (which would have been better titled Getz/Gilberto/Jobim). Getz/Gilberto's high place in musical history would be assured even without the immense success of Astrud Gilberto's vocalizing on "The Girl from Ipanema."

« Voici une superbe anthologie, en 4 CDs, qui couvre l’ensemble de l’oeuvre phénoménalement variée du compositeur brésilien Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959). Le Brésil a ceci de merveilleux en musique : les frontières entre musique « savante » et musique « populaire » n’existent pas, ou plutôt : ont été abolies, grâce à des musiciens, tels Villa-Lobos justement, qui ont, instinctivement parce que le pays lui-même est métissé depuis sa fondation, des musiciens qui ont donc pratiqué ce métissage constant en musique, entre les modèles « classiques » venus d’Europe et les mélodies et rythmes locaux.
