   runobodyii says This could be my favorite, if only, bossa nova recording too. I could also add Intermodulation to a fantasy collection of all the good albums relased in the year of my birth - - maybe all that music makes up something equivalent to one's sun sign. Who knows. Loved the track. Thanks.

   Spike says Recordings from the year of my birth exert far more gravitational pull on me than any distant planet could. Glad to find a fellow devotee of this recording.

   deadmandeadman says All new to this humble Mogger. Certainly not fully absorbed with one listen.

   Cody B says Whoa...Bill put out a lot of records, that is a mighty claim. Since I don't have a counter claim,right now..I better get to listenin.. Quick story- I actually won that 18CD Complete Bill Evans on Verve at a poker game thrown by Verve Records..There were 4 tables, each with a current Verve artist at the table (my table had Christian McBride). In the pot of each table was a gi-normous box set..After 2 hours whoever had the most chips won the box..I bluffed my way to victory. I guess things like this are why the record biz is sinking, but it sure beats downloading 18 CD's..

   Mike the Knife says A fine moment indeed, but there are so many. "Waltz for Debby," anybody?

   Spike says The question mark in the title gets me off the hook somewhat, but (speaking of bluffing) what's wrong with bluffing if it ups my comments score? Cody, give us a track when you get through the box, or even earlier; I bet it will be good. Mike, searching the net for "Waltz for Debby" is next on my list. Here's the only other standout I have handy, "The Two Lonely People" from a Columbia anthology.

   ivylander says How on earth did I miss this post? I am usually so vigilant for your name.... As MOG's resident stick-in-the-mud bossa nova purist, I think attaching the word "samba" to this song is a bit misleading. However, in instances like these purism is a dead end. Listening to this is like watching two thoroughbred horses galloping across a field, exulting in their ability to run....

   Spike says Glad you responded. I don't know how people keep up with Mog Brain email. Wasn't there supposed to have been a lull? No way. I liked your horses simile. I (no expert in these matters) am now curious about the definition of samba, and how musicologically the name of this tune was misleading. Dictionary.com mentions that "samba" comes from zambapalo, the name of a grotesque dance, itself an alteration of zampapalo "stupid man," from zamparse "to bump, crash." Oh well...
