Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: This 1995 tribute to the late Brazilian bossa nova master draws from the cream of the Verve/Polygram jazz catalogue. Saxophonist Stan Getz, who introduced the sublimely sensual bossa nova to North American audiences in the early 60s, is joined by vocalist João Gilberto on the well-known title track and by guitarist Luiz Bonfa on the exquisite "O Morro Nao Tem Vez". Sarah Vaughan ("Corcovado"), Billy Eckstine ("Felicidade"), Wes Montgomery ("How Insensitive") and Oscar Peterson ("Wave") also turn in classic performances from the 60s. Jobim himself offers guitar and piano accompaniment on several tracks and duets with Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina on "Aguas de Marco". Although subsequent generations of lame lounge singers have robbed bossa nova of its original mystique, in its pure form, this music is unsurpassed in conveying an intimately romantic mood with carefree sophistication. --Rick Mitchell Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Dinner Jazz Par Excellence...This album is the quintessential dinner jazz album. Forget all those lame Best of Jazz compilations. Jobim's original Bossa Nova tracks are the only option for the smoothest, most elegant and sensual songs that everyone in the room can kick back to. Rating: - simple smooth sunshine soundsMagico! Jobim is treated with rightful respect in this compilation of marvellous melody. The rhythms are as nature intended and every track paints a picture - well worth adding to the collection, makes the case for the annihilation of every modern-day-sickly-hispanic crooner, After all, if it ain't broke, why fix it?! Rating: - Some of the best of the Bossa Nova boomAn excellent collection of Tom Jobim covers. The track "Girl from Ipanema" is probably my least favourite. Only because I've heard it soooo many times, and Asturd Gilberto sings in that little lost voice of hers, and she CAN'T sing. But there are loads of other great tracks. Sarah Vau-vau-vau-Vaughan has trouble getting started on "Quite Nights" but all ends well, Billy Eckstine sings the definative version of "A Felicidade", and Oscar Petersons version of "Wave" is fabulous. Joao Gilberto, Dizzy Gillespie, Luiz Bonfa, Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd, well, just great. Rating: - Jobin by the greatest !!!If you like the unique melodies of Jobin's Bossa Nova you must have to this album. All the unforgettable tunes like "The girl from Ipanema" and "Out of tune" played with a special feeling like only jazz masters like Stan Getz and Dizzi Gillespie can play. Definitely a must ! |
