BOM DIA... CAPITOL sings DUKE ELLINGTON !

  (Washington, D.C. April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974)

Agradável manhã de domingo ... enquanto a cidade não desperta, Duke Ellington toca aqui em casa...

Maravilhosa compilação que eu simplesmente adoro !!!!

From Capitol's Fort Knox-level jazz vocal vaults comes this fine homage to the Duke. Culled mostly from '50s and early-'60s albums, Mood Indigo: Capitol Sings Duke Ellington features 20 stellar interpretations by the venerable likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, Nat "King" Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, and Nancy Wilson; and that's not to overlook an impressive array of relatively unsung talent like June Christy, Helen Forrest, Lou Rawls, and Annie Ross. Featuring work from both Ellington and longtime songwriting partner Billy Strayhorn, the mix contains a fetching combo of both evergreens ("Solitude," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore") and rare booty ("I Didn't Know About You," "I Ain't Go Nothin' but the Blues"). Topping things off are the Ellington-worthy charts of such veteran arrangers as Billy May, Gerald Wilson, Pete Rugolo, Benny Carter, and Nelson Riddle. Yes, this tour of "Duke's Place" is definitely not to be missed.

BOM DIA ... DUKE ELLINGTON !

BOA TARDE ... ISAAC HAYES !

 (Memphis, August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008)

Shaft - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition) The original Stax double-album of Shaft, released in August 1971, became Isaac Hayes' most successful LP as well as a Grammy Award winner, catapulting the artist-composer into a new realm of stardom.  A chart-topper on the Billboard 200 and the R&B and Jazz charts, the score album to the landmark of African-American cinema blended lush yet hard-driving funk with smooth, laconic instrumental tracks, and subtle jazz flavorings. 

An Academy Award winner for Best Original Song, it went to the top of the Billboard Hot 100

BOM DIA ... FREDRIC MARCH !

 (Wisconsin, August 31, 1897 – Los Angeles, April 14, 1975)

BOM DIA ... TOM JOBIM !

 (Rio, 25 janeiro 1927 – Nova Iorque, 8 dezembro 1994)

Manhã cinzenta aqui em Sampa (nem os passarinhos apareceram!) ...

Saquei da prateleira essa "obra-prima" do maestro brasileiro ... trilha perfeita para começar o dia

Meu album de cabeceira do Tom ... adoro CORRENTEZA (que letra linda!)

LÍGIA é chover no molhado (obra-prima)

SAUDADE DO BRASIL, ANGELA, BÔTO ... etc

My all time favorite Jobim recording. So haunting, sophisticated, and romantic. The first four selections have Jobim on vocals, with orchestra arranged and conducted by the brilliant Claus Ogerman. 

The first tune, "Boto" (Porpoise), includes vocalist Miucha (second wife of legendary Brazilian superstar/composer Joao Gilberto) in an elegant duet with Antonio, and at over six minutes, is the longest vocal track on the cd. "Angela", the last vocal track, is one of the most incredibly romantic and beautiful things Jobim ever wrote. 

It's a piece not heard very often, although the pianist/vocalist Eliane Elias did a wonderful version on her 1990 cd "Plays Jobim". 

Also, another marvelous performance can be found on Jobim's classic 1981 collaboration with Edu Lobo, "Edu and Tom", on the Mercury label (Universal 2007). 

The other vocal tracks, "Ligia" and "Correnteza" (The Stream), are gorgeous, as well. "Correnteza", co-written with Luiz Bonfa, can also be heard with vocalist Miucha on Japanese songbird Lisa Ono's fabulous versions of Jobim called "Ipanema - The Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim". 

On "Urubu", the rhythm section on the first four cuts includes Jobim on Fender Rhodes piano, Ron Carter on bass, Joao Palma on drums, and Ray Armando on percussion.

The final four selections on "Urubu" showcase Jobim the composer in a strictly orchestral setting with large orchestra.

This is some of the most serious and mesmerizing composing one will EVER hear from Jobim, and can even be seen as symphonic works with their depth and complexity. Jobim's son, Paulo, contributes one composition, "Valse", that is very gentle and sublime. 

Claus Ogerman conducts the orchestra through the intricate charts Jobim wrote, and also produced the recording. 

From 1976, when it was originally released, "Urubu" is efficacious and staggeringly beautiful ...
