   Hello there, everyone!
first of all, I'd like to, once again, congratulate all the people who created and supported Jazz Music Archives.

And I would also like to suggest that JMA to feature Lô Borges, Toninho Horta and Beto Guedes. Brazilian members, along with those that saw and supported my efforts to fullfill some info on Milton Nascimento's albums, are very likely familiar with these names. All of them belonged to what is called "Clube da Esquina" - the Belo Horizonte music scene in the 70's - and would frequently play each other's compositions (not to mention guest in each other's albums and gigs). I am not entirely sure if these three artists should be considered Jazz - come to think of it, I don't know to what genre Milton Nascimento and anyone from "Clube da Esquina" could belong! I therefore ask those who are familiar both with Jazz and these artists whether they should be featured here.

And, finally, I would like to ask if Som Imaginário (a band that backed Milton Nascimento in the late 60's and early 70's) could be featured here on behalf of their third and last album, "A Matança do Porco", which is very clearly influenced by Jazz (their first two albums are usually considered Psychedelic Rock). It is already featured in ProgArchives, in case you need more info on Som Imaginário.
