I have an album by Saul Goodman that is dedicated to Percussion (I have
forgotten the title); this page has a picture of him with Bela Bartok:

Also, percussion fans may want to take a listen to Max Roach's "M'Boom"
album on Columbia. It features "Kuchijigalia", which ended up on a Crystal
Light drink mix commercial (!)

It's called "Mallets, Melody and Mayhem". I rather like it. Anyone else
have it?

Joao Nogueira
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) -- Joao Nogueira, a singer and composer whose lilting sambas were recorded by top Brazilian pop music singers, died Monday of a heart attack. He was 58.
Nogueira was a mainstay of Rio's bohemian samba and carnival scene for nearly four decades and was preparing to launch his 19th recording, his widow, Angela Maria Nogueira, said in a televised interview.
A founder of the carnival group Samba Club, Nogueira wrote songs that were performed by stars such as Elis Regina, Beth Carvalho and Elizeth Cardoso. Among his better known works were ``The Power of Creation,'' ``Supplication'' and ``Knot in the Wood.''

Jazz Guitarist Joe Puma Dies At 72
June 1, 2000, 1:45 pm PT
Joe Puma
Joe Puma, a jazz guitarist who came out of the big bands of the 1950s to become a stylish solo artist, died in New York Wednesday (May 31) after a struggle with cancer. He was 72.
Puma's first solo recording was the 1954 Bethlehem Records album, Joe Puma Quintet, that featured fellow guitarist Barry Galbraith and vibraphonist Don Elliot. (Galbraith and Elliot would again accompany Puma on his 1961 Columbia album Like Tweet, the title track of which was used in the 1987 film Good Morning Vietnam.) His most recent album was It's a Blue World, which was released in 1999. Puma performed on about 50 albums by a wide variety of artists.
Puma played in combos ranging from those of traditionally-minded artists like Artie Shaw and Les Elgart, to progressives leaders like Jim Hall and Gary Burton, but he will also be well remembered for his work accompanying jazz singers. Puma skillfully backed such vocalists as Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, Chris Connor, Mark Murphy, Morgana King, Helen Merrill, Carol Sloane, and others.
Joseph J. Puma was born in the Bronx, N.Y. on Aug. 13, 1927, into a musical family. His father was a luthier as well as guitarist, and his brothers and sisters played musical instruments. Inspired by Django Reinhardt, Puma taught himself to play guitar. He worked in the 1940s as an army aircraft mechanic and draftsman, but, by the end of the decade, he had chosen music as a career.
In the 1950s, Puma played with such bands as Sammy Kaye, Louis Bellson, and Shaw's Gramercy Five (in which Puma replaced Tal Farlow). Puma also worked with some of the foremost bop and post-bop artists of the day, including Lee Konitz, Herbie Mann, Dick Hyman and Joe Roland. In the early 1970s, Puma played in an acclaimed duo with guitarist Chuck Wayne, and continued through the following decades to play with such artists as Warren Vache, Al Cohn, and Jimmy Rainey. Puma also taught briefly at Housatonic College in Bridgeport, Conn.
