There was a rather important birthday June 10th - Joao Gilberto turned 70. He's the former husband of Astrud, whom we've discussed on this list. But more importantly, if there is an inventor of bossa nova, it's him. He developed the method of playing guitar rhythms using jazz chords and adding the soft singing that characterized the early bossa nova sound. Both Peter and Danny White play Joao's rhythmic style on Basia's songs. There would probably be no Basia as we know her without Joao. Joao has spent most of his life since achieving stardom hiding in his room - - coming out to perform once or twice a decade. Brazil planned to put on a huge show in the football stadium in Rio for his birthday - he told them not to bother and stayed in his room. He is scheduled for a "world tour" (I don't know the sites) followed by recording a new 2-CD set later this year. un abrazo, j ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2001 07:12:18 EDT From: JPovlock@aol.com Subject: (no subject) Seems like there are several new people on our littlt mailing list. Let me tell you that this group is quite intelligent and witty with very discriminating tastes, as well as being quite opinionated. We may talk about things non-Basia, but only because there is nothing to talk about from her world. Hang in there.............

Anyway, hi to all from another San Franciscan. I joined this list to try and figure out what Basia's doing but haven't heard much. What do you experts out there know? Has she "retired" or just burnt out on the music world? Why does she seem so far out of the limelight? Just curious what's going on...

Maybe she's made her statement in the 80s and no more is required. Moving forward isn't always progress (like if you're at the peak of a mountain...) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2001 13:31:49 -0500 From: Ben Combee Subject: Re: USA Roll Call Sorry I hadn't replied before... been very busy: Ben Combee Austin, TX BTW, I'm still sending out Basia video CDs, about one ever three weeks now.

Perhaps she knows (if she's out there lurking) whether or not Basia is to appear on Peter White's new album. Anybody out there have a good contact to reach Peter White's people?
