| | Astrud Gilberto Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness CD Astrud Gilberto Discography of CDs
This 1966 session brought together the Brazilian-born pop singer with her fellow countryman, organist Walter Wanderly, who had already enjoyed an international hit with his recording of Marcos Valle's "Summer Samba (So Nice)." Here they reprise that breezy, infectious tune in a -brand new version, providing Gilberto with a chart hit of her own. Wanderly's bright, relentless organ sound predominates here, though things slow down enough on the piano-accompanied "A Certain Sadness" for Gilberto to turn in one of her characteristicaly wistful performances. There are some other moderately tempoed tracks, such as "Here's That Rainy Day" and the lovely "Tu Mi Delerio" (an all-too rare performance in Portuguese), but overall it's a pretty jaunty affair between two bossa nova hitmakers.
This is the remastered Japanese import edition of Astrud Gilberto and Walter Wanderley's A CERTAIN SMILE A CERTAIN SADNESS.
24 bit digitally remastered Japanese version.
Personnel: Astrud Gilberto (vocals); Walter Wanderley (piano, organ); Joao Gilberto (guitar); Jose Marino (bass); Claudio Slon (drums); Bobby Rosengarden (percussion).

Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness album
 $12.09    
The very first moments of Rodrigo y Gabriela's sophomore effort, 11:11, hit the listener cold in the face, and not just because of the amazing guitar playing. Sure, it's there, but it's what anyone who heard the duo's astonishing debut would expect. No, it's the sound of the record: immediate, forceful, crystalline; it's in-your-face compelling and impossible to ignore. 11:11 features 11 new compositions, dedicated to 11 musical artists (not all guitarists, either) ...

Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness music CDs
$97.75
Four CDs covering Marty Robbins' complete Western recordings, 99 songs in all from 1958 until 1979. As a concept, Under Western Skies is cohesive and enjoyable, largely because Robbins' music, regardless of the particular year in which it was recorded, is unified thematically. It's also a superb showcase for Robbins' voice, one of the most versatile in country & western -- he was equally adept at rock & roll, traditional country, or Western ballads dating back 100 years or more, but he had a way of extending the latter genre's melodic beauty and lyricism without ever seeming repetitive. Thus, it wasn't just that Robbins was covering this repertory, but that he was doing it in ways that, as a solo artist of his era, were just about definitive. Disc One contains songs from Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs and parts of the follow-up record, More Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs. Disc Two is devoted to songs from Return of the Gunfighter and the rest of More Gunfighter Ballads, filled out with songs that only appeared previously in 1984 on a Bear Family vinyl release. By the mid-'60s, Robbins' voice was even better, richer and more confident on this material, and Disc Three reflects this. Disc Four extends up through 1979, and it's ...

$10.65
It's a cliché that fado is the Portuguese blues. It's not exactly true, as such comparisons never are. Fado, which means "fate," is a much more gentle, surrendering acceptance of life's misery than the blues, which try more often to purge painful emotions than to soothe them, although both styles are distinguished by the way they look heartache square in the face. Great Voices of Fado, Vol. 2 is a wonderful collection of songs, perfect for a relaxed or romantic evening. It offers classic fadistas ...
| | Evan Parker Short Stories CD (2005)
Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness music CDs
$15.05
Free improv neophytes are often impressed by the resourcefulness and invention necessary to carry a collective improvisation for 75 minutes straight. But seasoned fans of the genre know it is tougher to perform several short pieces than a single extended one, simply because the hardest aspect of free improvisation is how you begin and end. After two albums of rather long pieces, Evan Parker & September Winds deliberately opted for the hardest path. They entered the studio on October 3, 2004, meaning to keep it short. The result is a collection of 23 pieces, most of them under three minutes, a couple stretching over four. In order to make things more interesting -- that is, slightly easier and more stimulating -- the quintet used some preconceived materials. Sequences, words, and musical concepts often served as a first impulse for the music, although they remain largely hidden, except for the two "No MPs!," performed without mouth pieces. Short Stories is a lively album where intensity in conciseness is the main focus. A two-minute slot jump-starts interactions and keeps every one ultra-attentive to the cue that will close the proceedings. Alder Brook was full of large-scale group effects. This one thrives on vivid exchanges between Peter A. Schmid and Reto Senn, the combined fast action of Evan ...
