Lyrics If I don’t see her each day I miss her Gee! what a thrill each time I kiss her Believe me I’ve got a case On Nancy with the laughing face She takes the winter and makes it summer Summer could take some lessons from her Picture a tomboy in lace That’s Nancy with the laughing face Do you ever hear mission bells ringing? Well, she’ll give you the very same glow When she speaks you would think it was singing Just hear her say “Hello” I swear to goodness you can’t resist her Sorry for you she has no sister No one could ever replace My Nancy with the laughing face If I don’t see her each day I miss her Gee! what a thrill each time I kiss her Believe me I’ve got a case On Nancy with the laughing face She takes the winter and makes it summer Summer could take some lessons from her Picture a tomboy in lace That’s Nancy with the laughing face What a wonderful treat to come home to When the long day has drawn to a close There’s the patter of feet to come home to And Nancy gave me those Keep Betty Grable, Lamour, and Turner She makes my heart a charcoal burner No one could ever replace My Nancy with the laughing face

La canción más representativa de la playa (la formal) es La Plage de Pierre Barouh, (un Bacharach a la francesa) popularizada por Marie Laforêt siendo la versión de Gilles Sala, mi preferida. No dispongo de una playa tan elitista ni intimista y por tanto, les invito a una más corriente, la de Dave Pike / Chick Corea, extrañamente poco conocida, sin acceso restringido, alegre, abierta, donde está permitido traerse de casa tortilla de patatas, jugar la partida con los amigos y se comparten las "claras" y el calimocho. Saludos!

Me Faz Recordar

Es bien conocida la afición de Herbie Mann por todas las músicas, de todas la etnias, sin distinción. Ha sido un estudioso, y, se ha interesado especialmente por la "brasileira" que es como decir la Bossa Nova, grabando "in situ", con los monstruos sagrados, en su momento, cuando empezó todo, y, después, ha sabido mantener contacto con las nuevas promesas, actualizando su obra, ampliandola, aunque no mejorandola, pues estamos, queramos reconocerlo, o, no,  en los minutos de la basura. El resultado del partido es inamovible y tanto da, que da tanto.

Aquí nos presenta, en un disco con cuatro portadas, una alineación de gala, en los orígenes, con Hagood Hardy (antes de hacer dúo con Stan Laurel, es broma) y Dave Pike de aprendiz aventajado, y con una sección de percusión alucinante con Willie Bobo y "Patato Valdez" de caporales.

Las canciones, excepto la versión de Brazil, para turistas con jarra de sangría incluida,  son éstas como podrían ser otras, pues están en estado de gracia y las bordan. A destacar, (recordar) Me Faz Recordar que es de una belleza que duele.

Canciones:

Brazil, Copacabana, Minha saudade, B.N. Blues, One Note Samba y Me Faz Recordar

Este es un recopilatorio de Saludos Amigos con el que nos íbamos arreglando antes de YouTube. Está compuesto, en su mayor parte por Brazil Blues y sus gemelos, más una parte de Right Now y una sóla canción de Latin Fever, ambos de Atlantic.

Músicos:

Herbie Mann, flute; Hagood Hardy, vibes; Billy Bean, guitar; Dave Pike, marimba; Bill Salter, bass

Willie Bobo, drums; Carlos "Potato" Valdés, conga; José De Paula, tamborín y Carmen Costa, maracas.
