| | Sergio Mendes Pais Tropical CD Sergio Mendes Discography of CDs
The Japanese release of this 1971 Brazilian jazz album contains a bonus track, the Japanese version of "Pais Tropical."
Changing their name and style with the trends of the decade, Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 assume a brighter, perhaps more garish sound that tries to get closer to what was happening in North America, even when exploring Brazil. (Other Brazilians were pursuing a similar goal in tropicalismo, with differing results.) Gracinha Leporace had replaced Lani Hall completely on lead female vocals by now; like many Brazilian voices, her grittier, Portuguese-accented tone is a bit off-key, and it definitely alters the group's sound. Mendes kept on coming up with great Brazilian material like "Asa Branca" and "Tonga," and he gives himself an extended jazz piano showcase on Edu Lobo's wordless tour de force "Zanzibar." On the North American ledger, there is a pop/rock slice of countercultural social protest, "So Many People" (one of three tunes by the gnomelike Paul Williams), and Tom Scott lends a contemporary pop-jazz hand on some tracks with his funky tenor sax. Ultimately, Brasil '77 never came close to becoming the commercial force that Brasil '66 was, but Mendes kept on tweaking the mixture. ~ Richard S. Ginell

It's hard to believe that after recording as a leader for 40 years, DRESDEN: IN CONCERT is Jan Garbarek's first-ever live album. For those who think that Garbarek abandoned jazz some time ago, this will be a shock. DRESDEN is an engaged, kinetic, double-disc, two-hour performance of his quartet playing in the modern jazz idiom and using all of its tenets--from complex harmonics and rhythmic invention to extended lyric ...

WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance and for Best Engineered Album, Non Classical. WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year.
This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.
WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES, a 1999 Verve release, heralds the return of the cool and groovy Latin-tinged jazz of the '60s. Upon hearing the opening track, a bossa-nova-fied version of Irving Berlin's "Let's Face The Music And Dance," one might think he had accidentally put on a Getz/Gilberto record. In fact, it's hard to avoid comparing Krall's breathy alto to that of Astrud Gilberto-particularly on the more samba-flavored numbers.
But Krall ultimately resists comparisons. Her simultaneously textured and smooth tone, warm timbre, and conversational phrasing mark her as unique. The set of standards here, including "Let's Fall In Love," "I've Got You ...

Like many of the Jazz in Paris series of CDs issued under the Gitanes division of Universal, this compilation pairs two unrelated sessions (both originally issued as 10" LPs) by different leaders. A 1956 session led by trumpeter Joe Newman finds him jamming with tenor saxophonist Frank Wess, baritone saxophonist Bill Graham, and trombonist Henry Coker. Pianist Maurice Vander, bassist Eddie Jones, and drummer Sonny Payne make up the rhythm section. All of the players solo in a relaxed manner during the extended workouts of the leader's two originals, while the shorter ballad feature, "Lover Man," focuses exclusively on Newman, Wess, and Vander, as Graham and Coker both sit it out. Cootie Williams' quintet from 1959 is a different matter. Although a good part of the material comes from swingers like Duke Ellington or Count Basie, the trumpeter's supporting cast gives this date more of an R&B flavor, especially due to the unimaginative playing of organist Arnold Jarvis, guitarist Larry Dale, and drummer Lester Jenkins. "Night Train," Jimmy Forrest's honking ripoff of Ellington's "Happy-Go-Lucky Local," rapidly ...

It's the best feeling in the world to be a part of something that brings people together and has them leaving feeling better than when they came in."Michelle Becker (keyboard/vocals) - Chances are you've seen the keyboard playing half of Latitude before! She has opened for Motown's Coasters, Drifters, and Platters.
