Copacabana mon amour is a Brazilian film of 1970, directed by Rogério Sganzerla. The soundtrack of the film is Gilberto Gil, the photography of Renato Laclete and the installation of Mair Tavares. "Copacabana Mon Amour," the film, was released in 1970 and the track was composed while the musician was in London in exile. The songs are the first compositions of Gil in exile and were commissioned by Rogério Sganzerla, filmmaker responsible for the film. The only recorded copy was gone for years. In the late 1990s, Marcelo Fróes met her with an English collector and launched it.

Interpose+ biography (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2395)

First members are a female vocal, two guitars, bass, and drums. They played in some mixture style of jazz rock and progressive rock, with this twin-guitar featured band. On March next year, they played in the first live gig at La.mama, Tokyo. In 1988, they turned into vital action, played in 9 live gigs at SILVER ELEPHANT, CROCODILE, and more clubs, took part in an omnibus album "Canterbury Edge" from MADE IN JAPAN RECORDS label. A guitarist left the band shortly after. Their sound came less jazzy, and more progressive, vocal and guitar-oriented pops style. The next year, they played only one@stage. On February, vocalist has left, and the first period of the band has ended. Remaining members kept their activity in rehearsal studios. But the bassist has also quitted in 1990, Tanaka and Sato started to looking for new members. - They played twice on stage as interpose with guest players at this time. Tanaka found Koike Toshiyuki (bass) and a keyboardist, searching for a new drummer on a rock magazine, made a contact with them and join together. The second period has started with this union. In 1991, members were fixed with a newly joined female vocalist. The sound of this period was changing into symphonic with keyboard sound. First live of this period was on March 1992, at SILVER ELEPHANT. But this period suddenly ended after the gig on October same year, at La.mama. They played only four times on stage at this second period. After that, INTERPOSE stopped their activity for long. Each member went ondifferent ways individually. In 2001, Tanaka and Koike went to see the gig stage of Satoh. They met together and reunited, the third period of INTERPOSE has started.

The Pazant Brothers - Instrumental Funk Sessions

The Pazant Brothers made some obscure, largely instrumental recordings between the late '60s and mid-'70s that are highly regarded by funk collectors, though they never made an appreciable commercial dent in the R&B market. While similar in essential respects to the James Brown-inspired funk arrangements of the day, the group also added some elements of jazz, Latin, and New Orleans music. Some of their tracks also had afterthought-seeming incidental vocals, but it was as an instrumental band that they were strongest. The Pazant Brothers included saxophonist Eddie Pazant, who began playing with the band of jazz great Lionel Hampton in the late '50s, eventually becoming musical director. His brother, trumpeter Al Pazant, was also in the Pazant Brothers Band, who recorded as the horn section for Pucho & the Latin Soul Brothers in the late '60s. Ed Bland was crucial to launching the Pazant Brothers as a recording act, writing much of their material and recording them as an A&R/executive of the GWP label. The group released about an album's worth of tracks for GWP, mostly on obscure 45s (one credited to the Chili Peppers), in the late '60s and early '70s before ending their collaboration with Bland and recording under the name the Pazant Brothers & the Beaufort Express on rare singles for the Vigor and Priscilla labels. That was the name they also used when Ed Bland signed the band to Vanguard for their only album, 1975's Loose and Juicy. The Pazant Brothers continued to play over the next few decades, and also work as session players and with Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers. Most of their studio recordings were issued on the 2005 CD compilation The Brothers Funk, and an early-'70s live concert was released for the first time on 2003's Live at Museum of Modern Art.

The Feeling of Love - Punk Psychedelic Garage Rock (France)

Since its beginning, The Feeling Of Love evolved from a one-man-band playing minimal and nihilist garage blues with a no wave borrowing, to a trio still in the garage vibe but with more complexity and strong krautrock and psychedelic influences.

The band, mostly based in Metz (France), comes from the mind of Guillaume Marietta, who was joined by Seb Normal and Sebastien Joly for their first studio album released through Born Bad Records in april 2011.

DISSOLVE ME (also released on Kill Shaman Records in USA) is the band’s kraut space garage manifesto. Songs stretch out, the drums go more tribal, the synth hammers out his keys on an infinite highway, and the guitar gets lost in delay pedal’s fog.One thinks Suicide, Spacemen 3, The Velvet Underground, Can, Syd Barrett.

The record allows the band to reach a larger audience, to hit the stage of big festivals like Rock en Seine in Paris and to me critically acclaimed by the french media (front page of Telerama, press articles in Le Monde, les Inrockuptibles, Noise, Magic, Grazia, etc.) and had many reviews on U.S. and European blogs.

After countless shows all over Europe and two tours in U.S.A., sharing the stage with bands such as Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, White Fence, The Intelligence, Girls, Strange Boys etc., The Feeling Of Love will release early 2013 a new album titled REWARD YOUR GRACE.

Even if the songs keep their psychedelic and melancholic garage essence, the band re-think their music by exploring shoegaze and pop territories. REWARD YOUR GRACE is a much more light full records, more accomplish but never steady. Something between psyche pop balads and long sound tracks of trance disturbed by sonic blasts.

Reward Your Grace

Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci & Brian Blade (Jazz)

Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci and Brian Blade have been three quarters of the extraordinary Wayne Shorter Quartet for more than a decade. Since, they’ve also continued their individual careers as leaders of their own projects and groups. Now, on Children of the Light, they step forward as a trio for the first time with an imagination and fearlessness in their approach that defies the roles and ways of a trio in both obvious and subtle ways. Some of this music was previewed during the London visit of sax giant Wayne Shorter’s regular partners Danilo Pérez (piano), John Patitucci (bass) and Brian Blade (drums) as a trio last year, and the album likewise emphasises the immense jazz experience and the effortless hipness with which they deploy it all. Inspired by the Lionel Messi-like ease with which Shorter can switch direction, the band do a lot of that without him – as in the title track, with its skippy theme, prodding Latin countermelody and loosely collective free-swing; or in the rhythm-games and contrapuntalisms of Sunburn and Mosquito and the closing number, African Wave. The stealthy, spacey Moonlight in Congo Square is like a very slow Thelonious Monk, Lumen is a Latin-funky Fender Rhodes groover, and the gospel-inflected Within Everything could be a Tord Gustavsen meditation. It’s very classy contemporary jazz from a trio who have learned to listen to each other in the most exacting context, though their relish for tricksy musical puzzles still occasionally gets in the way.
