BTW...I didn't put those asterisks in there (see my previous post this topic, under "Catching The Sun"). How can I make the actual song title appear in its "unedited" state?

Shocked and slightly embarrassed, I am--

Guys, Reading this thread again, i noticed that the "I believe in you" version on "Gary's tape" sounds AWSOME by the fact the Jays uses the tenor and gives it a more "smooth" sound to this killer ballad.

Also i've been haunted with "Escape hatch" (really and very hard to play)


Eril.

Jazzknight...

Some of your "hidden" favorites are definite, out front faves of mine.
"Sunflurry" would be a great example.

Peace!

Eril,

I totally agree with you about the tenor version of I Believe in You. It sounds awesome.

Hard to believe it's been 3 whole years since this thread was updated.
I'm listening to Carnaval - the first SG album I ever owned - and remembering how impressed I was with the funk-inspired Dizzy, the beauty (especially the piano solo) of Awakening, the almost-big band sound of Foxtrot and Schu's signature keys on Sweet n Savvy.
Another reason this album is partial to me - as if any of the older ones are not - is Bittersweet and Sweet n Savvy were on the setlist the first time I saw them in concert (1987, shortly before the release of Stories Without Words) and Cachaca was on the setlist a year later.

Now that you bring "Carnaval" to the spotlight i tell you that i've always been in love with "Cashaca". Also the live version on Gary's tape is sooooooooo great. Check out close that julio looks at joel about 30 secs after the song starts like saying "Man..where did that came from"!!!!

Nice Song!!!

Yeah, I love Cachaca, too.
Back in 1982, when I listened a lot to the jazz station run by Jacksonville University, I heard Cafe Amore, Cachaca, Foxtrot and Sweet n Savvy - the most of any SG album that I have heard. Cafe Amore got played on the area's R&B station a few times. I think I only heard Foxtrot once. But Cachaca and Sweet n Savvy, I heard them at least twice.

Gary who?

When did JazzKnight re-appear? Been a long time, huh?

From the day I first heard Point of View in 1989, the easy favorites have been the 3 opening songs, Hannibal's Boogie and Swamp Thing, with Carolina and Gotcha lurking nearby.
However, my appreciation for The Unknown Soldier has grown tremendously. And one song that's really grown on me is No Limits.

Jay is in top form during the closing.
