hi intet-at-tabe. from now on i will call you the "human liner note" !!! thanks for sharing. i sure heard one or two records where the sax player did mastered three types of this instrument, but i just can't remember them right now. but what amazes me more is the way some musicians pass from a wind-instrument to a percussive one, and then from the percussion one to the strings, and so on. from that point of view, Egberto Gismonti is a fine example, as he can play all sorts of guitars, piano and flutes in the same very inspired and delicate way.

Accepted, humbly and respectfully, blushing :eek: with an elegant bow forward like the sign of four: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and DÁrtagnan, though laughing out loud at the same time, when reading your post about my new calling name "human liner note", what a great idea and calling name, all because of you dear sir sunwaiter :tiphat::clap::banana::trp::up::cheers::lol::lol::lol::lol:.

Wonder though what my dear polish friend Mat will say, since he figured out the other new calling name for me "machinegun intet", when I write reviews of the new dozens of jazz CD´s, which happen to fall on to me, occationally.

But "Don´t worry, Be happy", quote by one of the greatest and most couragous vocalists of our time, the vocal pedaggog Mr. Bobby McFerrin, who can make the shy danes at any concert hall to sing after his directions at one of his concerts with him. Remarkable man.

I love both these new creative and symbolic names originated by people at the MIMF I respect, basicly because they also know of and need good music in their every day lives.

We have to talk about Egberto Gismonti, like you already stated the incredible brazilian acoustic guitar player engineering new acoustic guitars for 8, 10 and 14 strings guitars, incredible pianist as well, keyboardian and playing severel indian wood flutes, percussion and some voice added occationally. "Sol Do Meio Dia" by the ECM Records 1978 - a favourite of mine and the duo album "Danca das Cabecas", by the ECM Records 1977 with the equally incredible brazilian berimbau player and percussionist Nana Vasconcelos.

The two of them can sound like an entire symphony of unknown sounds from animals within the still undiscovered parts of the biggest ecological system known to Man - The Amazon Rain Forest.

On topic:

Miroslav Vitous on his 20 years old album "Infinite Search", by Atlantic Records 1988.

The musicians:

Miroslav Vitous - basses
Herbie Hancock - piano, el. piano
Joe Henderson - tenor saxophone
John McLaughlin - acoustic/electric guitars
Jack DeJohnette - drums

Any of these guys above rank in international jazz for the past 40 years on end among the top 5 musicians on each their instruments thorughout the world. Put together on an album, it can only create excitement, smiles and appreciation.

riiiiight. Sol do meio dia... i fail to remember tha name of the track but at the end of one of the sides of the record, Mister Gismonti, alone on piano, always succeeds in drawing a tear or at least a silence out of me.

anytime i hear the name bobby mc ferrin i see the face of robin williams ( yeah the video...). i should try to get acquainted with his music and songs. i like al jarreau and his vocal tricks, so why not bobby. i guess they are two very different artists though.

i own a miroslav vitous album, a psyche-disco-funk oriented album. one more time i forgot the name and i'm too lazy to look for it on internet. maybe you know that one already. herbie hancock provides supercool clavinet riffs. it's sometimes a little heavy but a like this kind of atmosphere. though in spac eyou don't have any atmosphere.

Well, sir sunwaiter do not feel embarrassed in any way, I am too lazy sometimes, and between the two of us I admit, I get frustrated because as you already mentioned on another post, I can never remember the lyrics by Frank Zappa in the song "I´m the slime.......", either.

As for the solo piano song from "Sol Do Meio Dia", you asked for it must be the 4th song "Coracao", beginning with very silent emotional piano playing.

On topic:

The Chick Corea Trio playing the music of Telonious Monk on the album "Trio Music - Live In Europe", released by the ECM Records 1986.

The musicians:

Chick Corea - piano
Miroslav Vitous - double bass
Roy Haynes - drums

Great album, but the kind of album, at the same time, one can not hear every day in the week, because sudden improvisations on the album need your full attention.

But then I love everything Chick Corea in his various bands has ever created musically since 1965.

PS! Duce point to you sir sunwaiter reminding me of the american male actor Robin Williams from the video to "Don´t worry, Be happy" .

I've just been listening to a wonderfully poignant and satirical radio show produced by Minnesota Public Radio in association with the Minnesota Orchestra ... a sort of one man show about a Lutheran radio announcer, it was hysterically funny in places. Garrison Keylore was the guy's name who made the program, forgive me if I've spelled his name incorrectly.
