Milton Nascimento

I was wondering if there's any Milton Nascimento fans on Agon. I was introduced to him by a David Byrne CD called Brazil Classics that I bought a very, very (maybe 18 years)long time ago. I recently decided to dive into the musicians from this Byrne compilation so I ordered Milton Nascimento / Lo Borges - Clube Da Esquina. I can't believe I had never heard this before. David Byrne must have had the same experience. It's simply amazing. I need more. If you're familiar with Milton or Lo Borges, please suggest some other music for me to try.

Thanks Oddmorning. Yes, I bought Clube da Easquina as a Christmas gift to my wife. I'm so glad I did. We love every song. What a ride. After we played it in it's entirety on Christmas morning, she reminded me that it was her CD. She's very lucky.

I'll check out your suggestions. I know Milton loved Lennon and McCartney.

I noticed you already ordered Clube da Esquina.
Here are 2 others I really like.
They are 2 albums both called Milton.

The first one is from 1970 and the first tune is Para Lennon E McCartney.

The 2nd one is from 1976 Milton (raca) Wayne Shorter makes a guest appearance. Also an excellent sounding recording.

Thanks Musicslug. I'm going to check that out. I think I might try Pieta also. I've been reading some reviews that are very favorable.

my favorite Milton Nascimento is a collaboration with Wayne Shorter called 'Native Dancer' - both artists shine on this one and the synergy is seamless. plus, if you're into LPs, it's easy to find on vinyl for cheap.
