Dear Forum Members,
At the Sergio Mendes produced BOSSA RIO ‘LIVE IN JAPAN’ 1970 recording, the song FAR AWAY is listed. Written by Bossa Rio’s bassist OCTAVIO BAILLY and LANI HALL.
This was an original Blue Thumb release but later reissued on A&M.
On this live recording João Donato was succesor of Osmar Milito as pianist along with Gracinha Leporace and Pery Ribeiro on vocals, Ronnie Mesquita on drums and the late Manfredo Fest on Organ (he was a killer pianist in his own right).
The song FAR AWAY is not on the second Bossio Rio Alegria album
Blue Thumb release.
I am curious about the song FAR WAY I never heard the BOSSA RIO ‘LIVE IN JAPAN album as well as the ALEGRIA album. I hope it will be released on CD in the NEAR FUTURE!
Lani already makes here marks with bassists as songwriting is concerned, Salt Sea, and Song of No Regrets with Brasil 66 bassist Sebastioão Neto along with Oscar Castro Neves. Her English lyrics on Edu lobo song Pradizer Adeus (To say Goodbye) are great.
BTW, Blue Thumb records was founded by Bob Kraznov and Tommy LiPuma. Tommy LiPuma an old Industry veteran and nowdays at the helm at the Verve Music group, involded in rocketing the recording careers of George Benson, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Michael Franks and many more.
Started with Liberty Records in the early sixties as promo man, Tommy LiPuma was a staff A&R member of A&M records in the sixties and later on Vice-President of A&R at Horizon/A&M records, Vice President of Jazz/Fusion at Warner Bros records and later Vice President of Elektra records under (again) Elektra}s Chairman Bob Kraznov.
All the best,
