An important composer of the samba of the hills, Martinho da Vila has written many successful sambas-enredo (the vehicles for the parades of the samba schools during the Carioca Carnival). As a composer and interpreter, he has recorded more than 30 LPs and CDs, some of which have sold over one million copies. His songs have been recorded by many interpreters, among them Simone, Beth Carvalho, Roberto Ribeiro, and Alcione.

At 13, da Vila began to frequent the Escola de Samba Aprendizes da Boca do Mato. At 15, he wrote the samba de terreiro "Piquenique." In 1957, he began to write one samba-enredo per year for his samba school's parade, beginning with "Carlos Gomes" in that year, and following with "Tamandaré" (1958), "Machado de Assis" (1959), "Rui Barbosa na Conferência de Haia" (1960), and nine others in subsequent years. Along with the role of composer, he also was the mestre de harmonia of that school. In 1965, the school paraded to his samba "Construtores da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro," and in the next year he moved to G.R.E.S. Unidos de Vila Isabel (where he developed a new style of samba-enredo) and adopted the nickname Martinho da Vila. In 1967, he participated in the III FMPB with the partido-alto "Menina moça." In the same year, he appeared in the show A Fina Flor do Samba, at the Teatro Opinião (Rio), singing his songs. The samba school Unidos de Vila Isabel paraded in the same year with his "Carnaval de ilusões" (with Gemeu). In 1968 and 1969, he continued to have his sambas-enredo sung by escolas de samba, having Eliana Pittman sing (with Rodolfo de Souza) his "Laiá do cais dourado" in the latter year. In 1968, he appeared in the show Samba Autêntico, No. 1 and in the IV FMPB, with "Casa de bamba." The samba was included on his first LP, released in the same year through RCA Victor. The group A Voz do Samba (of whom he was a member) recorded an LP with his songs in 1970. "Segure tudo" reached the hit parade in 1972, and with "Canta, canta, minha gente" and "Disritmia," he broke sales records in 1974. He continued composing the annual samba-enredo for the Unidos da Vila Isabel throughout the following years. His Tá delícia, tá gostoso (Sony, 1995) album sold 1.5 million copies. He had an entire album dedicated to his compositions by singer Simone in 1996 (Café com leite). He launched new talents of the samba community, like the groups Compassos da Vila and Roda de Saia, and the sambistas Agrião and Tiago Mocotó. Active as a black awareness proponent, he promoted interchanges with Africa in shows, lectures, and albums. https://itunes.apple.com/jp/artist/martinho-da-vila/id3735794?l=en or http://emovietorrents.com/music/44983-martinho-da-vila-duetos-2014.html

[3:03] 16. Man I Got You
[2:41] 17. There Ain't No Sweet Sorrow In Me
[1:52] 18. Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams

Heather encapsulates everything great about nostalgia without a trace of unwanted sentimentality. With a voice of cut glass and an ability to carry a melody that's eminently appealing, her warm vocals blend a kissable mix of Billie, Ella and Peggy, a particularly rare ability in these days of cynicism and throwaway gratification. Of special note is her interpretation of Roll on Mississippi, which features the superb Ted Beament on piano and a sympathetic rhythm section with Roger Curphey on bass and Marc Cecil on drums. This and many other songs highlight the immaculate violin of Mike Piggott, who is perfectly in tune with the feel of the album's material throughout. Recommended for a summer's moonlit dinner with someone very special. ~ Musician Magazine

Listening to Carmen Lundy "live" on Jazz and the New Songbook: Live at the Madrid is truly a remarkable experience and solidifies the adage that she is in a class all her own. On this exceptional two-disc set, the multi-talented vocalist performs 18 of her original compositions accompanied by some of the music world's most talented musicians. Recorded February 18, 2005, at the Madrid Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, the concert opens with the hit song "In Love Again," the optimistic ode to romance that was previously released on Something to Believe In. Lundy's multi-octave range is fluid, sensuous, and sexy. It is captivating as it floats with seductive nuance and swinging rhythms. "Better Days," originally heard on Carmen's Self Portrait CD, opens with Curtis Lundy laying down an alluring bassline, anchored by Victor Lewis' drums and great comping by David Roitstein's keyboards, Phil Upchurch's guitar, and the Los Angeles String Quartet. With a range from soprano to contralto, the tones of her voice flow like the fluid strokes of a paintbrush on a canvas as listeners are treated to the pure ambience of Lundy's potent lyricism, delivered with a powerful voice that urges you to just hang in there. "Wild Child" is another passionate masterwork that features the high-powered upper registers and full bottom registers of Lundy's great voice. A double trio, impeccably complementing her inspired rendition, backs her. 

Mark Shim's soprano sax solo and the great improvisations by the double trio definitely take this song to another level. Steve Turre's conch shell work on "Afrasia" is truly a crowd-pleaser as he introduces the exotic vocals of Lundy and Krystal Davis Williams, who invoke the myriad names given to God in many different cultures. This beautiful prayer is truly indicative of Lundy's exceptional prowess and spiritual connections. Disc two features several songs from This Is Carmen Lundy, including "All Day, All Night," "Send Me Somebody to Love," and "I Dream in Living Color." Bonus tracks include three highly popular Lundy songs whose "official" 48-track concert recordings were lost due to a power surge on that rainy night in Los Angeles. Overall, this double-disc set houses a great mix of ballads, straight-ahead jazz, Latin, fusion, and funk that showcases Carmen Lundy's amazing voice and compositional integrity. Highly recommended.          ~ Paula Edelstein  http://www.allmusic.com/album/jazz-and-the-new-songbook-live-at-the-madrid-mw0000479880

Carmen Leggio, the saxophonist who played in Maynard Ferguson's best bands of the late 1950s and who passed away recently, recorded Sax After Midnight for Lovers in 1996. Based on the cheesy cover design, you'd think this one was cut in the mid-1950s. Beyond the retro feel, the design execution is painfully literal. Strangely, the ghostly sax appears to be playing by itself or having a smoke in between sets. And based on the wattage of the spotlight (or is it the moon?), the photo session seems to have taken place in an interrogation room or prison yard. The editor in me can't help but note that "For Lovers" could have been dropped from the title. I think "Sax After Midnight" kind of says it all. ~ Marc Myers http://www.jazzwax.com/2009/05/sunday-wax-bits-2.html

David Kikoski - Surf's Up

Styles: Piano Jazz
Year: 2001
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 66:10
Size: 151,5 MB
Art: Front

( 7:30)  1. Oh No
( 6:24)  2. Cardboard
(10:04)  3. Four in One
( 7:06)  4. A noite Do Meu Bem
( 7:08)  5. Little Melonae
(13:49)  6. Surf's Up
( 7:42)  7. Bird Feathers
( 6:22)  8. Muito A Vontade

David Kikoski's fourth Criss Cross is another fine trio effort, featuring James Genus on bass and Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums. Quite unlike Kikoski's previous discs, however, this one features no original material at all. It begins with a surprising choice: Frank Zappa's "Oh No," from the Lumpy Gravy album, an intricate piece of work that Kikoski makes his own (cf. Mike Mainieri's version of "King Kong" on American Diary). The pianist honors another of rock's visionaries, Brian Wilson, with the title track, "Surf's Up," giving the obscure song a soaring treatment that stretches to nearly 14 minutes. For good measure, Kikoski also takes aim at several less-than-routine items from the bop canon: Charlie Parker's "Cardboard" and "Bird Feathers," Jackie McLean's "Little Melonae," and Thelonious Monk's challenging "Four in One." He rounds out the program with two contrasting Brazilian songs, Dolores Duran's "A Noite Do Meu Bem" and Joao Donato's "Muito a Vontade." Kikoski has firmly established himself as one of jazz's most distinguished pianists. Surf's Up shows that he is also an exceptional, risk-taking interpreter of non-jazz material. ~ David R.Adler   http://www.allmusic.com/album/surfs-up-mw0000014457

Personnel includes: David Kikoski (piano); James Genus (bass); Jeff "Tain" Watts (drums).

This CD reissues the first dozen selections from clarinetist Jimmie Noone's Apex Club Orchestra (all of the numbers with pianist Earl Hines, although not the four alternate takes), plus eight slightly later numbers. Noone had an unusual quintet/sextet in which altoist Joe Poston constantly stated the melody (but never actually had any solos), giving the band a unique sound for the period. Many of Noone's greatest recordings are on this CD (including "I Know That You Know," "Four or Five Times," "Apex Blues," "My Monday Date," "Sweet Lorraine," and "My Daddy Rocks Me With One Steady Roll"), although serious collectors will prefer to get the more complete two CDs from the Classics label instead. ~ Scott Yanow   http://www.allmusic.com/album/apex-blues-mw0000623088

Personnel: Jimmie Noone (vocals, clarinet); Junie C. Cobb (vocals, guitar, banjo); Joe Poston (vocals, clarinet, saxophone, alto saxophone); May Alix (vocals); Wilbur Gorham, Bud Scott (guitar, banjo); Richard Hadlock (clarinet); Eddie Pollack (alto saxophone, baritone saxophone); George Mitchell (cornet); Fayette Williams (trombone); Bill Newton, Lawson Buford (tuba); Zinky Cohn, Alex Hill , Alexander Hill , Earl Hines (piano); Johnny Wells (drums).
