---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment It's a slow Saturday, what zee hell... The web is great for some things. I recently punched in the name of one of my favorite musicians from whom I had heard nothing in close to 30 years and whom I despaired of ever hearing his wonderfully happy music again: Moacir Santos. Turns out a group of some of the best-known musicians in Brazil made a collaborative tribute to him and including him in 2002, and it has recently been released by Adventure Music in the US. It is called "Ouro Negro." As is the case with most great music, it hasn't gotten alot of airplay. I guess people don't know what to call it--Brazilian, Latin, World, Jazz, Samba. Damn those categories, anyway. Moacir Santos has been a mentor to many people that Brazilian music fans are familiar with, including TomJobim. If you like great compositions, wonderful arrangements, complex but very accessible rhythms, and some excellent solos, check it out. Amazon has it in their catalogue. If you like Brazilian music and all of its colors, this will bring great joy into your life. It is two CDs, and two hours worth of listening pleasure. I bring this up on this list because some of the best ears in the world scan the discussions here, and I feel most of you would appreciate it. No, I do not own stock in Adventure Music.
