I couldn't find all of the tracks of this album, but with most of them in hand I can tell you that this album isn't for all tastes. She is a great singer and an independent guitar player with powerful lyrics; Joan is intimist and passionate, perfect for the beginning of 1960s, an era of intimate power and hunger for social changes.

Pensei em uma freira, na Mary Poppins, na moça que tocava violão em "Aperte o cinto que o piloto sumiu." Bati na cara dela, mimiquei os tons agudos e o vibrato quase exagerado de seu timbre, mas também a apreciei e até senti falta quando parou de tocar. Dificil ficar impassível diante da voz e violão de Joan Baez.

It is a happy jazz. Easy to listen and the clever drums with simple bass-guitar make and intimet and rich environment for Dave Burbeck to play catchy melodies that stand the test of time. Each track has its own soul making this a very flexible album. Quite interesting to me.

Que grata experiência foi ouvir Time Out. Como poucos, The Dave Brubeck Quartet tem o dom de deixar na sua cabeça uma melodia fresca e memóravel. Finalmente descobri o nome de uma das minhas música preferidas: Take Five. É possível que você já tenha se perguntado quem a escreveu também.

This a quite emotional album. It isn't as uplifting as the previous but his solidifies his career with high and long notes, good style. The song 'All Blues' is crazy, almost magical. Uau, what a feeling is coming through the speakers, just beautiful.

Interesting approach to Jazz this album is. Quit jazzy wind instruments, almost Latin drums with the coolest lyrics I've hear up until now in this blog's short history. It is a blend of styles in my opinion and this is reflexion of a great musician with lots of people skills. The environment he creates with the band is remarkable even for today's standards (in terms of production of the music) and all of that was recorded live with all instruments. Liked very much, I think I'm gonna buy it...

One thing I have to say about Ella Fitzgerald: what a voice! Her orchestra makes a complex environment with highly skilled maestri. The many ups and downs open opportunities for more complex lyric and vocal tunes. Immediately see honesty in every chord or the tumbling sweet-thunder that is her voice, fitting perfectly into the harmony of Jazz. It’s happy, it’s romantic... I bet this was the pop of the jazz, but a good one. Amazing how 1950s pop is so much better then today’s.

Honestly, I thought it was a bit out of tune. Not all the time, but mainly on the first song. Was it on purpose? I don't know, and it was too much Jazzy for me anyway, I like more gutted types of music. "Just one of those things" is quite crazy and the voice was a bit acid and easy, with a more simple melody, and this is my favourite song from this album. Her late albums were more of my taste.

For my disappointment (and yours too I'm sure) Jack Elliott's album "Jack Takes The Floor" isn't easy to find and therefore I have to improvise. My review will be based on only four songs of the 11 this album has... and I want to hear some more. This is the type of thing I like and respect: raw, a bit out of tune, great little stories, educated guitars. Jack was ahead on the Folk game and even today Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and others have acknowledged Jack's influence and I can see why. Not for all tastes, but worthy of appreciation.

Uau, Billie Holiday had such a mature voice and a sadness that you almost feel sorry for being happy. She was a great interpreter and she would get her emotions pass through her body and make your guts move in sinc with her's. She was struggling to bit her own "demons" by the time of this album and although all songs sound alike, this is a masterpiece that opened the doors for single female musicians such as Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse. I personally couldn't listen to it for too long.
