Brazilian Nights Live at Zinc Bar is the result of over a year collaboration with legendary Brazilian pianist Cidinho Teixeira, bassist Itaiguara Brandao, drummer Mauricio Zottarelli and vocalist Greta Panettieri. With every show the idea of making a record grew stronger in the band till it finally came to life. This album is a comp of three magical shows that took place at Zinc Bar in the core of NYC West Village. The repertoire ranges from classic Brazilian hits like 'Mas Que Nada' (Jorge Bem) and Aquele Abraco (Gilberto Gil) to more sophisticated compositions like Bebe (Hermeto Pascoal) and Beijo Partido (Toninho Horta). The great interplay among the band members creates wonderful moments of improvisations able to take the listener back in the days of the most intense Jazz vanguard. Cidinho and Greta's harmonization and improvisations blend together always pushed and supported by Itaiguara and Mauricio's incredible grooving abilities. The quartet takes us in a high speed highway of pure musical energy. Special guest on two tracks is the amazing saxophonist Rodrigo Ursaia. https://news.allaboutjazz.com/greta-panettieri-brazilian-nigths-live-at-zinc-bar.php

Personnel: Greta Panettieri - Vocal;  Cidinho Teixeira -  piano;  Itaiguara Brandao - bass;  Mauricio Zottarelli - drums;  special guest Rodrigo Ursais - tenor sax.

Art Farmer - Art Farmer Quintet At Boomers

Styles: Jazz, Bop
Year: 1976
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 45:52
Size: 105,3 MB
Art: Front

(13:05)  1. Barbados
(10:55)  2. I Remember Clifford
(13:24)  3. 'Round About Midnight
( 8:27)  4. Will You Still Be Mine

Although flugelhornist Art Farmer permanently moved to Europe in 1968, he has returned many times to the United States to play. For this live LP (recorded for East Wind and released domestically by the defunct Inner City label), Farmer joins up with tenor-saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Billy Higgins for lengthy versions of Charlie Parker's blues "Barbados," "I Remember Clifford," "'Round Midnight" and "Will You Still Be Mine." The group had not rehearsed beforehand but rehearsals were not really needed for these hard bop veterans and even an uptempo version of the ballad "Will You Still Be Mine" comes off quite well. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/at-boomers-vol-1-mw0000785165

Personnel: Art Farmer - flugelhorn; Clifford Jordan - tenor saxophone; Cedar Walton - piano; Sam Jones - bass; Billy Higgins - drums

Art Farmer Quintet - At Boomers #2

Styles: Jazz, Bop
Year: 1976
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 49:02
Size: 112,7 MB
Art: Front

(11:48)  1. Fantasy In ''D''
(12:07)  2. Manha Do Carnival
(13:54)  3. Blues For Amos
(11:12)  4. What's New

This exciting live set by Art Farmer is also culled from the same 1976 performances as the earlier album Live at Boomer's. Although the full quintet had not rehearsed prior to the engagement with Clifford Jordan (the rhythm section, consisting of Cedar Walton, Sam Jones, and Billy Higgins, had been working together with Farmer for over a year), the sparks fly as they stretch out on each of the four tracks present. The tenor saxophonist particularly shines in Walton's up-tempo "Fantasy in D," while the leader's inventive flügelhorn keeps "Manha De Carnaval" from being reduced to a cliché. Sam Jones is showcased on his well-known original blues "One for Amos," and the finale is an energetic take of the often placid ballad ""What's New." This well-recorded album, which was available only briefly during the LP era, was reissued by the Japanese label East Wind in early 2003. ~ Ken Dryden https://www.allmusic.com/album/at-boomers-vol-2-mw0000764273

Personnel: Art Farmer - flugelhorn; Clifford Jordan - tenor saxophone; Cedar Walton - piano; Sam Jones - bass; Billy Higgins - drums
