    The historic recordings of the song Desafinado: Bossa Nova development and change in the international scene1 Liliana Harb Bollos Universidade Federal de Goiás, Brasil [email protected] Fernando A. de A. Corrêa Faculdade Santa Marcelina, Brasil [email protected] Carlos Henrique Costa Universidade Federal de Goiás, Brasil [email protected] 1. Introduction Considered the “turning point” (Medaglia, 1960, p. 79) in modern popular Brazi- lian music due to the representativeness and importance it reached in the Brazi- lian music scene in the subsequent years, João Gilberto’s LP, Chega de saudade (1959, Odeon, 3073), was released in 1959 and after only a short time received critical and public acclaim. The musicologist Brasil Rocha Brito published an im- portant study on Bossa Nova in 1960 affirming that “never before had a happe- ning in the scope of our popular music scene brought about such an incitement of controversy and polemic” (Brito, 1993, p. 17). Before the Chega de Saudade recording, however, in February of 1958, João Gilberto participated on the LP Can- ção do Amor Demais (Festa, FT 1801), featuring the singer Elizete Cardoso. The recording was considered a sort of presentation recording for Bossa Nova (Bollos, 2010), featuring pieces by Vinicius de Moraes and Antônio Carlos Jobim, including arrangements by Jobim. On the recording, João Gilberto interpreted two tracks on guitar: “Chega de Saudade” (Jobim/Moraes) and “Outra vez” (Jobim). The groove that would symbolize Bossa Nova was recorded for the first time on this LP with ¹ The first version of this article was published in the Anais do V Simpósio Internacional de Musicologia (Bollos, 2015), in which two versions of “Desafinado” were discussed.

  • Star Shines at Shell
    May 24, 2014 Star Shines at Shell PHOTO BY YOSHI JAMES Homage to cult band’s “Third” kicks off Levitt series By Bob Mehr The Levitt Shell’s 2014 summer season opened Friday night, with a teeming crowd of roughly 4,000 who camped out under clear skies to hear the music of Memphis’ greatest cult band Big Star, in a show dedicated to its dark masterpiece, Third. Performed by an all-star troupe of local and national musicians, it was yet another reminder of how the group, critically acclaimed but commercially doomed during their initial run in the early 1970s, has developed into one of the unlikeliest success stories in rock and roll. The Third album — alternately known as Sister Lovers — was originally recorded at Midtown’s Ardent Studios in the mid-’70s, but vexed the music industry at the time, and was given a belated, minor indie-label release at the end of the decade. However, the music and myth of Third would grow exponentially in the decades to come. When it was finally issued on CD in the early ’90s, the record was hailed by Rolling Stone as an “untidy masterpiece ... beautiful and disturbing, pristine and unkempt — and vehemently original.” 1 North Carolina musician Chris Stamey had long been enamored of the record and the idea of recreating the Third album (along with full string arrangements) live on stage. He was close to realizing a version of the show with a reunited, latter- day Big Star lineup, when the band’s camp suffered a series of losses: first, with the passing of Third producer Jim Dickinson in 2009, and then the PHOTO BY YALONDA M.

While America was economically wealthy after the war, it still had to deal with extremely difficult social and cultural challenges. Due to these new aspects of life, there were increasing differences in both the interests and values of children and their parents, what we have learned to call the "generation gap". The "generational gap" between the youth culture and their parents meant a polarizing society, each hating and completely misunderstanding the other.. This eventually resulted in a highly political youth culture that was laterally opposed to the government. Through isolation, the counterculture began to develop new philosophies and new ways of thinking, and a huge part of that philosophy was the pursuit of a "Good Society", a utopian dream for world peace.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

  • Som Musikprojekt Har Dungen Pågått Sedan 1998. Det Startades Av Gustav Ejstes Som Sedan Dess Skriver Och Arrangerar Musiken
    Dungen Tio Bitar (SUBCD24) Som musikprojekt har Dungen pågått sedan 1998. Det startades av Gustav Ejstes som sedan dess skriver och arrangerar musiken. På så vis är Dungen en persons verk; det är en person som skapar låtarna. Men Dungen hade inte varit det det är om det inte vore för musikaliska möten. Ett av de möten som fått en central betydelse för hur Dungen låter är det med gitarristen Reine Fiske. Gustav och Reine träffades redan ett par år efter projektets födelse och sedan dess har gitarristens påverkan på låtarna bara blivit större. ”Reine Fiske har ett säreget tonspråk och uttryck”, säger Gustav. ”Han har ett sätt att traktera elgitarren som inte många har.” Det sättet ligger mycket nära Gustavs ljudmässiga vision och det har satt sina avtryck. Allra helst i den nya skivan. Om Gustav spelade mer själv på de förra albumen (Dungen, Stadsvandringar, Ta det lugnt) - gitarr, bas, trummor, flöjt, blev det i skapelseprocessen av den senaste plattan än mer av Reines bas och gitarr. Grunden till låtarna lägger de tillsammans. Gustav spelar en del och instruerar, Reine spelar. Efter det bjuder Gustav in andra musiker för, som han säger, ”resultatets bästa”. Det sättet jobbar han helst på, med en person i taget. ”Det fungerar i någon mening som i hip-hopen. En producent ligger ofta bakom allt och i det här fallet är jag producenten.” Inför arbetet med den nya skivan gjorde Gustav som med det förra albumet. Han isolerade sig några månader i ett hus i Småland i södra Sverige; för att kunna fokusera, ”för att hålla influenserna på avstånd”.

  • Tom Jobim and the Music of the Murdered House Tom Jobim E a Música Da Casa Assassinada
    Tom Jobim and the music of the Murdered House Tom Jobim e a música da Casa Assassinada Ney Costa Santos In 1959 Lucio Cardoso's Chronicle of the Murdered House was published, dividing critics and readers between acceptance and outrage. The detractors were disturbed by the atmosphere of guilt, sin and incest and the admirers were overwhelmed by the passionate and intense writing. Sixty years after its release, there is no doubt that the Chronicle is one of the greatest novels in Brazilian literature and it is impossible to remain indifferent to it. Lucio Cardoso has always been controversial. When he launched Maleita in 1934 and Salgueiro in 1935, the two books were still in line with the regional and social themes that dominated Brazilian literature. The next book, Luz no Subsolo, represented a rupture from realistic novels and a plunge by the writer into the themes of interiority, questions about life and death and the relationship between man and Mystery. This book bewildered the criticism to the point that Mario de Andrade, in a letter sent to the author, although claiming that he did not like the book, admitted that there was something in it that disturbed him and to which he attributed value. (...) What a strange and haunted novel you wrote! (...) It punched me in the stomach, I ran out of breath, I read it, reading, the situation gripped me, the characters didn't interest me, sometimes the analyzes fatigued me a lot, sometimes they illuminated me, I didn't know in what world I was, completely out of my element.
