Some Pretty Good Tunes.......2004-05-07

Like the previous reviewer said, this is a good little showcase of some bossa nova tunes. There really are only 6 songs on this cd but after you get the feel of this cd, you are left wanting more.

The artists are great masters in Brazilian music. Antonio Carlos Jobim does "Girl From Ipanema". I think this is the same as the one on his "Tide" cd. Also here is Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 with a breezy and romantic classic "Like a Lover", featuring warm vocals, orchestration with a consistent guitar. My favorite song is Edu Lobo's Ponteio. It's light and fun, good guitar, quick and festive vocals. Paul Desmond's version of "Dolphin" is a nice, slower track on the piano. But you'll want to check out Stan Getz version too. And finally, Milton Nascimento comes in with one of his neat vocal tracks to wind up the sampler.

This is a terrific little sampler of music. But I must say I paid about a third of the cost posted here. And remember, it's only 6 tunes so chances are if you're deciding between this and something like "Antonio Carlos Jobim's songbook", then check that out instead.

Little Bossa Nova Showcase for a Good Price.......2000-07-08

Just 6 pieces of great Bossa Nova releases by A&M. Itýs worth the price. Each track comes from a different Bossa Nova master: Antonio Carlos Jobim, Sergio Mendes, Luiz Eýaýs Tamba Trio/Tamba 4 and Brazilian composers Milton Nascimento and Edu Lobo - all at their best. Paul Desmond also plays 1 track from his A&M album with Brazilian musicians - a Nascimentoýs composition.
