girl and Andre,Tieta do Agreste is great, as are all Caetano's works, but let's not forget the input from Jacques Morelenbaum on that score. A real breath of fresh air.
What was that Caetano song in English where he mentioned flying saucers flying around his head? Freaky and wonderful!
girl, do you know the Quincy Jones song written for you and sung by Astrud Gilberto for The Deadly Affair? What a great piece of music (and score, though it's bright, admittedly twisted ,bossa nova rhythms were at odds with the grimy London visuals).

Ohhh!!!! Tango what a wonderful score. And of course I've always been a huge fan of Brazilian music especially Antonio Carlos Jobim. Love him. Love Him. Bossa Nova is one of my favorite soundtrack complations this year a nice mix of source music and original score that makes the transition easy for the Jobim and Astrad Gilberto music.Welcome to the board Girl, and I hope you have loads of fun here. And by fan you have the most original name here. I likes!!!

Hi Girl From Ipanema.
Welcome to the board.

"close neighbors".
Cheers.P.S.

Hey Howard: Remember when Jobim came out with a tune called "Wave". And then somebody put words to it and Sinatra sang it. I love the way Frank had to reach down for those low notes.

Marcelo, have you ever hear or see "Happy Together?" It is Chinese director Wong Kar-Wai, in Chinese language with Chinese actors, but take place in Buenos Aires and has some Argentine tango music!!!
Also, English film "Tango Lesson" has great "Libertango" version by Yo Yo Ma!!
Also, Mason Daring score for American film "Opposite of Sex" has good bossa nova passage!!!
Also, if you like Veloso, you must hear Toots Theileman jazz harmonica albums "Brazil Project 1 and 2"!!! Especially song "Voce é Linda" sung by Caetano himself!!! Who is Toots you ask??? He played John Barry harmonica theme for "Midnight Cowboy"!! And also wrote "Old Spice" men's perfume commercial jingle!! Is that moviemusic???

Hey Girl, you have wonderful taste in music. Toots Thelemans is one of my favorite harmonica players in the world. To help continue what you started on his movie projects, he had wonderful solos in John Williams' scores for Cinderella Liberty and The Sugarland Express, Christopher Young's underrated score to Hard Rain and my personal favorite James Newton Howard's enchanting score to French Kiss. I can't stop listing to that score.How is Mason Daring's Opposite of Sex? I've seen it a couple of times here in the city (New York) in a used store. And I've always been curious about it. You should check out his most recent score to the movie Where the Heart Is. It is wonderful and melodic.

Hi Girl From Ipanema.Yes, I saw Happy Together.
I don't know why all the Argentinian
movies "HAVE TO HAVE TANGOS" on it.
Not everybody listen tangos all the time
around here.
Recently I'd composed a score for an Argentinian movie but the director told me:
You'l have to compose tangos!.
And I did a couple obediently for the Ball Room sequences(Source music).
I prefer dramatic music for the underscores.
With an ethnic touch could be,using the Bandoneon,(a tango instrument close related to the Acordion,and an instrument born in German)in this case.
But I don't like to use songs as wallpaper. posted 07-20-2000 09:21 PM PT (US) Hard Target

Hey girl, I got the Opposite of Sex a week ago and the score isn't bad. I got to hear the End Credits the day before I bought it to see what the score was like. And I love it very bossa, I just love that music. There's a handful of the other cues that are on the album that are very cute and I thought they were the best.No problem on the recomendations on the Williams scores. Although, I highly recommend that you get the bootleg of Cinderella Liberty which sounds terrific, but rather pricey. The Sugarland Express theme can be heard on Williams' re-recording album called The Spielberg/Williams collaboration.
There's a bootleg of the complete score to French Kiss around and that's that one I prefer because it's 31 minutes and has the two cues on the regular album, plus everything else that wasn't released. Girl, if you want I can help you get a copy of this wonderful score. Just toots!!!
If you wanna hear something really excellent you've got to hear John Barry's score to Hammett. Boy is this good, very noir-ish jazz. A tribute to the 40's and 50's. Very cool. Catch you later girl....
