Carl is the reason I got into Brazilian music 15 years ago. He’s always been a huge proponent of tropicalia.

@arpaddanos9416 Жыл бұрын

Nice to see Melenas make an appearance here - was not expecting that. They are great. Also cool to see Ellington at Newport, that was later considered his big comeback. For the music of Brazil, people should check out the musical movement from Minas (called corner club) led by Nascimento, Borges, and Guedes. It is otherworldly

If a record is low priced, it doesn't mean it's not good. It's because it's something that alot people don't know about. So it's harder to sell.

It was Paul Gonsalves taking chorus after chorus on Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue that caused the "riot" at Newport in 1956. It was evidence that the Ellington band was still relevant after all those years.
