Voice of an 'Angel'

Just a quick mention for the voice of an angel. Originally from Rio, she has the most wonderful six-octave voice, has been a part of some of the best Latin Jazz music made since the 60's and still sounds (and looks) amazing. Her attitude and personality shine through her vocals and bring the freedom and experimental spirit of the 60's and 70's to us even today.

Look out for some of my favourite tracks and don't forget to comment!

Open Your Eyes - Stories To Tell - Insensatez - Reza - Airto's Jazz Dance - Andrei - Moon Dreams - Light As A Feather

and many, many more. . . ..

Dixieland Way - Sid Phillips Band

In America, as well as Europe, the name Sid Phillips automatically ties up with King Of Clarinet. This title was bestowed upon him by American music critics during a series of broadcasts on the C.B.S. Network in New York some years ago. Now, more than ever, this distinction is obviously merited. One has only to hear a few phrases and Sid's virtuosity and position in front of the world's great clarinet players are unmistakable.

Summer Sambas - Duncan Lamont

"The bossa nova had it's brief moment of hit parade glory in Britain at the beginning of the last decade in the shape of Antonio Carlos Jobim's Desafinado, but it's influence has remained constant in popular music ever since. The soft, subtle beat of Brazil's modern Samba can be heard everyday on the radio airwaves as arrangers draw upon it for colour and contrast in their scores, and it has joined and largely superceded the beguine and the bolero in this respect. It is a matter of regret that we seldom hear genuine Brazilian tunes over those same radio airwaves, but at least the bossa nova rhythm has firmly and permanently implanted itself on the map of international pop music."
