Solitude on Guitar .......2005-11-16

In the liner notes of "Images on Guitar" could be read that the next record would only contain instrumental pieces. This project was not realised.
Baden Powell recorded his next record with the German Jazz bass player Eberhard Weber and the drummer Joaquim Paes Henriques and can be seen as an declaration of love to Marcia. In 1971 six compositions by BP (two solos), five arrangement and a composition by Eberhard Weber were recorded and released two years later with the title ýSolitude on Guitar".
Only three weeks after the recordings of "Images" Baden Powell was again recording material for two records. However, "Solitude" and "Grandezza" cannot continue the concept and quality of "Images". The music of "Solitude" has it's own charm but lacks an unifying concept. The record's title is deceiving, there not only sad melodies but also happy dances and romantic love songs. After "Solitude" Baden Powell's interest in releasing new solo pieces would decrease. Possibly this lacking motivation was the reason for the mentioned unrealised solo project. The composition "Bassamba" by Eberhard Weber can rather be seen fitting with the "Grandezza" tracks than with the love theme of the other "Solitude" tracks.
These recordings from 10 - 11 December 1971 were not only a change in Baden Powell's music but also the end of his work with his friend and producer Joachim E. Berendt.

Soothing, Peaceful, Emotional Music.......2005-02-17

I found this album in a small record shop off the Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo in 2003, while looking for quiet bossa guitar classics. The sound quality is amazing, each chord plucked clean ans the timbre full and rich. Each song has its distinct flavor, yet the songs segue smoothly into each other. Baden Powell is a true guitar genius. The music has never failed to calm, soothe and put us in a tranquil, relaxed mood especially after a rough day, the same way Kind of Blue does. When Ezra gave birth to our baby Jakob we put this on in the labor and delivery room, and the hospital staff all mentioned how great it was and asked for the artist and album information, intending to get their copies, from the doctor, anesthesiologist, to the nurses! At any rate, it worked like magic and my wife had a very easy delivery!
