  CNN/SI - Athletics - Triple jump champion falls into a coma - Friday May 28, 1999 12:14 PM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Oliveira, who was hospitalized in April with lung and liver ailments, was bleeding from the lungs and responded only to painful stimuli, according to a medical bulletin signed by Dr. Jose Carlete and Dr. Antonio Pinheiro.
Oliveira, 44, became a national hero when he set the world record with a jump of 17.89 meters (58 feet-8 1-4 inches) at the 1975 Pan American Games in Mexico, a mark that stood for 10 years.
Oliveira reportedly was depressed after unsuccessful ventures in business and politics and became an alcoholic, which undermined his health.

 jazz e arredores: Setembro 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
O líder, em vez de se dedicar ao que bem sabe fazer, que é tocar clarinete, optou por se ligar à máquina e toca a deitar cá para fora sequências intermináveis de loops e delays já muito ouvidos noutros contextos, criando subidas e descidas inconsequentes, numa paisagem com vista para lado nenhum.
A música delicada, cheia de pequenas nuances e pormenores de filigrana, como a que a violoncelista canadiana compõe e executa, requer um ambiente intimista, de maior concentração espacial; nunca um anfiteatro ao ar livre, jamais em noite de vento como a que lhe coube em sorte.

There was also an honor guard from the Army, where João Carlos de Oliveira served as a lieutenant, and the wake was held at the São Paulo Assembly building where Oliveira served as an elected state assemblyman for two four-year mandates.
His father was as a railway man. Oliveira was still a little boy when his mother died and he was raised by a stepmother who allegedly beat him constantly.
Oliveira remained in a coma for four days, and after 23 operations the doctors gave up trying to save his right leg.

 Joao Gilberto discography -- Slipcue.com Brazilian Music Guide
Joao's second wife, vocalist Miucha, sings on a couple of tracks, and her contributions are -- frankly -- negligible.
Well, apparently it's Joao's decision: unhappy with the way his records were repackaged for CD reissue (leaving some songs off that were on the original LPs), Gilberto has blocked their reissue ever since.
Joao Gilberto is one of the stars of this charming and completely authoritative history of Brazilian popular music, which documents the rise of bossa nova, tracking the careers of Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius De Moraes, Nara Leao and others in a gossipy, informal narrative that's a delight to read.

 Brazil - BRAZZIL - Magazine Bundas, Joao do Paulo Dies, Embraer, Prison Breakouts - Brief and Longer Notes from Brazil ...
The newest national publishing venture in Brazil and one causing laughter all around and uproar in some quarters is the brainchild of a group of veterans who 30 years ago revolutionized the Brazilian small press by launching what was to become the most successful alternative national paper to date: O Pasquim (The Pasquinade, cheap newspaper).
Pieces like this interview show the serious side of a publication that wants to be both the whip, as well as the cultural thermometer of the nation.
The party for the launching of the magazine—the publication's offices are in a cozy house on Bulhões de Carvalho street, in Copacabana,—had all the informality and irreverence of the publication's team.

 João Gilberto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
He spent many years in Rio de Janeiro without owning his own place, always crashing at friends’ houses, hardly ever sharing the expenses, sleeping all day and playing guitar all night, even if the house owners needed to get up early for work.
His obsession with technical perfection in recordings and shows is unprecedented and goes back to the "Chega de Saudade" single, which consumed days of studio sessions wasted by his frequent interruptions, as he was always displeased by some noise or mistake that only he could hear.
The album sold over a million copies, impelled by the track "Garota de Ipanema", which would turn into one of the most aired, played and re-recorded songs on the planet.

 Composer by Jobim, Antonio Carlos CD
Jobim changed the face of Brazilian music, and pop music in general, by pioneering bossa nova, a genre that fused the Brazilian samba with a jazzy harmonic sensibility and the melodic constructions of American pop composers like Cole Porter and George Gershwin.
Songs like "Agua De Beber" and "Photograph" exemplify his ability to float an elegant melodic line over an irresistible groove.
The unusual chord changes and highly evolved harmonic structures of Jobim's compositions, equally influenced by American jazz and Brazilian classicists like Villa-Lobos, are exemplified on "Dindi" and "Desafinado (Off-Key)," whose lyrics cast self-deprecating aspersions on Jobim's endearingly unschooled, often flat singing.

 Barnes & Noble.com Music - Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook -- Antonio Carlos Jobim - CD
The first of several tribute albums issued just after Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, this one generally sticks to his most famous songs as interpreted by several Brazilian and American artists from PolyGram's archives.
Jobim himself appears on such obvious choices as the best-selling Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto hit "The Girl from Ipanema," and with Astrud on "Agua de Beber" and "Dindi," and again with Elis Regina on an "Aguas de Marco" that nearly breaks up with laughter.
The American contributions are a mixed bag; Sarah Vaughan's "Corcovado," for example, is rather inappropriately overwrought but Wes Montgomery's "Insensatez" is a beautiful recording, with Jobim's favored arranger, Claus Ogerman, in top wistful form.

Brasileira de Distribuicao Grupo Pao de Acucar, Brazil's biggest retailer, said last month that same-store sales were little changed in August, held back by the drop in prices on food and clothes.
Slowing inflation may draw more customers to Pao de Acucar while a rise in consumer lending -- fueled by a new system that allows banks to deduct debt payments from people's paychecks -- will bolster sales of refrigerators, televisions and stoves, said Marcio Kawassaki, a retail analyst with Fator Corretora.
Pao de Acucar said yesterday that sales grew 0.6 percent in September as customer turnout improved.

The colony was ruled from Lisbon until 1808, when Dom Joao VI and the rest of the Portuguese royal family fled from Napoleon's army, and established its seat of government in Rio de Janeiro.
His son declared Brazil's independence on September 7, 1822, and became emperor with the title of Dom Pedro I. His son, Dom Pedro II, ruled from 1831 to 1889, when a federal republic was established in a coup led by Deodoro da Fonseca, Marshal of the Army.

Despite a nagging Achilles injury, Saneyev again had to come from behind in the final rounds to win his third gold medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, beating American James Butts and the then world record holder, Brazil's Joao Carlos de Oliveira.
Instead, he was robbed by some of his own countrymen, with film evidence supporting Saneyev's claim that he jumped further than the eventual winner, fellow Soviet and Estonian born Jaak Uudmae, 10 years younger than the 35-year old Saneyev.
Officials also fouled nine of the 12 jumps from de Oliveira (bronze) and Australia's own Ian Campbell (5th) during the competition, while Britain's Keith Connor - ironically now the NSW Academy coach - finished fourth.
