Nice choice sir corno Dolce:tiphat::clap:
I have three older albums with Brad Mehldau Trio on tapes, before Brad began to record with Pat Metheny in the new milenium and made two albums.
The two of them are entitled "The Art of The Song, Volume 1 and 2 - Live". Are we by any chance talking of the same albums, sir?
On these two albums the co-musicians are:
Larry Grenadier - double bass
Jose Rossy - drums
J. Rossy, who has done the percussion as well on an older album with Weather Report.
I have another one too, simply entitled "Songs" same musicians.
On topic:
Tania Maria, Brazilian pianist and vocalist on her album "The Best of Tania Maria" with a lot of famous American jazz musicians.
Tania Maria had a huge atttraction to the Danish live audience in the late 1970´s - 80´s. She recorded two duo albums with the Danish double bass player NHØP, and two albums with the trio T. Maria, NHØP and the american drummer Ed Thigpen, who came to Denmark in the 1970´s and stayed here for good, having met one of these tall long legged Danish blondes :grin::grin:.
Today there has been quiet around Tania Maria for some years. But this album reminds me of happy jazz with a great vocalist, who lost her heart to Denmark.
On the album "The Best of....", the musicians are:
Tania Maria - vocals, piano, keyboards, percussion
Robbie Condor - synthesizers
Jim Clouse - tenor saxophone
Dan Carillo - acoustic/electric guitars
Eddie Gomez - double bass
Anthony Jackson - acoustic bass guitar
Tom Barney - el. bass
Dave Weckl/Buddy Williams/Steve Gadd/Kim Plainfield - drums
Sammy Figueroa/Steve Thornton - percussion
Eumir Deodato - drum programing
Songs like "Don´t Go" and "Made In New York" realy get me on my feet. Great mixture of Brazilian folk music and samba/bossanova with American jazz and pop music. Great for dancing, even if it can not be compared to "Tango for Two".
