Hamhock swore to his mother that if he ever started an International Time Machine, he would post some Milton Nascimento. In 1972, Milton recorded Clube Da Esquina (meaning Corner Club) with some of his Brazilian familiars. This would be the first of four consecutive flawless albums released by the otherworldly musician, including Milagre dos Peixes (Miracle of the Fish) and Minas (Mines), ending with 1976's Geraes (Generations). Milton Nascimento's vocal abilities are impressive in their own right, but his avant-garde approach to making music sets him apart from other Brazilian musicians of the period. This reporter's most intoxicating musical experiences have been delivered courtesy of Nascimento's partially-free and meandering tropical jazz/bossanova explorations. Minas is attached here for your perusal, arguably the least accessible and most rewarding of Mr. Nascimento's masterpieces. Includes an ambitious re-imagining of the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood". If you want more, express yourself.
