And how nice today that with the devilishly easy streaming one can sample and hear albums that took months or years to track down way back then. Thanks for the mix!Michael Giltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921048823380535339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-62407474211556243072018-02-26T12:05:52.961-08:002018-02-26T12:05:52.961-08:00One of Nascimento's biggest interpreters is Fl...One of Nascimento's biggest interpreters is Flora Purim - one whole album of covers plus a song or two on each of her other albums. Also essential is Wayne Shorter's "Native Dancer" lp which is basically a trio album between Shorter, Nascimento and Airto Moreira, Flora's husband, with help from a slew of Brazilian musicians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-56201784334909558582018-02-26T07:52:21.807-08:002018-02-26T07:52:21.807-08:00Do Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 count as Tro...Do Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 count as Tropicalia (No, not really- Ed) as way back when we used to jive & samba on the dance floor to the likes of "Day Tripper" and "Spanish Flea". Probably facetious of me. Thanks for the SOTW zips & it's down to #1806 that I've been bingeing on the Moody Blues & Roxy Music (solo stuff by Ferry and Eno anyway). There is no 1807? Thank goodness there was an 1807 as the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act passed into law in the UK Houses of Parliament. Plus the births of chaps like your Messrs Robert E Lee and old Longfellow.

I'm also flying blind here so a great start to investigating a corner of the music world I've just barely dabbled in.

Since I don't always pay attention to lyrics and hear voices as another instrument, I don't need to know the specifics.buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.com
