Paul Desmond Bossa Antigua

Bossa Antigua picks up the samba-based rim shots of drummer Connie Kay on Take Ten and tries to make a whole new record out of them. While the title track duplicates the original percolating groove of "El Prince," other tracks like "Samba Cantina" revert to a typical bossa nova rhythm of the period, which leads one to conclude that "bossa antigua" is merely whatever Desmond says it is. Of the albums two non-originals, "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," of course, is made-to-order for Desmonds wistful, sophisticated temperament, and he delivers exactly what a Desmond devotee would expect and love; and "A Ship Without a Sail" has some memorable off-the-cuff solo ideas. Jim Hall is around again to lend subtle rhythm support and low-key savvy in his solos, and like many Desmond companions of this period, he makes a fine sparring partner in the contrapuntal exchanges. The Brubeck Quartets Gene Wright again lends a sturdy hand on bass. The playing is wonderful throughout, though just missing the full-throttle inspiration of Take Ten. - by Richard S. Ginell, AMG

The bossa was no longer nova when Paul Desmond got around to working in the style, but this 1964 recording ranks with the best Brazilian-inspired jazz. His pure, melodic approach required almost no adjustment (compared with Getz, for example) and his original writing, which dominates on this release, is strongly idiomatic. Connie Kay and Eugene Wright do great work in making the Bossa beat live and breathe. But the biggest attractions are Desmonds lovely sound and inspired phrasing, and the astonishing work of Jim Hall. Guitar fans dont like to hear it, but there are really no guitarists after Wes in the very top rank of soloists. Hall at his best does compare with any piano accompanist of the time, however, and his solos are as well-conceived as Tommy Flanagans or Barry Harris. The interplay between Hall and Desmond is always great, but the unhurried elegance of Bossa Antigua is special even for this great team. Three fine alternate takes enhance this very desirable release. - by Duck Baker, Jazztimes.com

THE STRANGE BOYS

THE STRANGE BOYS THE STRANGE BOYS - And girls club(2009) A banda � de Austin, Texas, e produz uma vers�o caipira do seu conterr�neo The 13th Floor Elevators, ou seja, temos Bob Dylan cantando em uma garagem. De fato, o vocal remete a Dylan instantaneamente, mas o som n�o se resume simplesmente ao pai do folk. H� faixas que remetem ao Kinks, outras que lembram o Beach Boys, e momentos que for�am o rockability de Chuck Berry.Com tantas refer�ncias fica dif�cil notar alguma originalidade, e realmente n�o h� nenhuma novidade ou surpresa. O The Strange Boys segue aquela linha de que tudo que � bom j� foi produzido no passado, e por um momento de ignor�ncia for�ada eles est�o certos. Da pegada country (Theyre Building the Death Camps), passando pelo velho rock n roll (This Girls Taught Me a Dance), at� chegar nas baladas para se dan�ar com a sua paquera (No Way for a Slave to Behave), percebemos que antigamente tudo tinha mais sentido.And Girls Club � um belo disco de nostalgia, o que expli...

The History of the Guitar 26 track compilation covering several genres of music There is no doubting that the guitar is one of the most popular instruments of all time. It is widely used in practically every genre of music, and many a famous artist is known for their mastering of this stringed instrument. Here is a brief history: The guitar is a type of chordophone , traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other chordophones by its construction and tuning. The modern guitar was preceded by the lute, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument. There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar : the classical guitar (nylon-string guitar), the steel-string acoustic guitar, and the archtop guitar. The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the vibration of the strings, which is amplified by the b...
