ISBN#__________ (August 2005).[Book & CD set]
From one of a series of 50 book & CD sets
released by one of the largest German newspapers, "Süddeutsche
Zeitung" which cover the music of 1950-1999:
This "1967" book and CD set contains the "Wave"
track from the Jobim album of the same name, arranged/conducted by
Claus Ogerman. Below is a translated portion of the book from
the original German, which mentions Claudio Slon and Bobby
Rosengarden:
"In condition with the original version
[of the title "Wave"] it has to be noted that the brilliant
arrangement is descendent from Claus Ogerman, the Munich composer and
arranger, who participates at all records which Jobim did in 1967.
The piano is played by Jobim himself, trombone solo by the jazzman
Urbie Green, rhythm section consists of the Miles-Davis-bassplayer
Ron Carter and the Brazilian drummer Claudio Slon.
As no other Slon drummed soft and playful
and yet powerful, so to speak swing and rock at the same time. All
along his life he was disconsolate, that he was mentioned on the
cover of "Wave" as one of three drummers. 'Yet I was the only; Bobby
Rosengarden and Dom Um Romao contribute only parts of
percussion.'"
