by the way...
Feb. 25th, 2008 06:47 pmMy love affair with Brazilian music continues. I begin to feel that it may be excessive but I can't really make myself care. It's just so damned good!
New and notable (to me): Astrud Gilberto's Jazz Masters collection. (As a note to myself, my favorite tracks there are Dreamer, Girl from Impanema, Agua de Beber, and Look to the Rainbow.) I have two more CDs on order from swapacd.com, Bebel Gilberto (who is actually not Astrud's daughter, although it would have made sense if she was*) and Bossa Nova Brasil. I just keep listening to sample tracks for albums and getting really excited.
Other new (non-Brazilian) CDs I'm pleased about include Chillout Sessions from the Ministry of Sound (a really nice ambient compilation), Red, Hot, + Rhapsody (remixes of Gershwin tunes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mrpet found it for me), and Jazz Club Vocal (all vintage and awesome). I have also been working on a "hopeful" playlist, to cheer folks up - let me know if you would like the track list or for me to play it when you're around.
*She's actually the daughter of Astrud's ex-husband Joao Gilberto and his second wife who is another bossa nova singer, not that it's an incestuous community or anything.
