About Joao Voz E Violao
Product description CD > BRAZILIAN MUSIC > BOSSA NOVA Amazon.com If is the compositional force behind the bossa nova, and jazz tenor saxophonist is its most eloquent American interpreter, then Joao Gilberto is its angelic voice. Since 1958, Gilberto's haunted and lyrical Brazilian-born Afro-Indian Portuguese has seduced generations with its sophistication and seductiveness. This CD, produced by , is Gilberto's first studio recording in nearly 10 years and it's well worth the wait. With just his voice and his guitar, Gilberto fills the heart and head with enough musical force to equal a symphony orchestra. Of course, the classic bossa nova titles "Desafinado," "Voce vai Ver," and "Chega de Saudade" retain their pathos and power. Gilberto christens Veloso's "Desde que Samba e Samba" and "Coracao Vagabundo;" 's "Eclipse" and 's "Eu Vim da Bahia" with the same soulful sounds that made him a legend for 40 years. --Eugene Holley Jr. Review More than 40 years after he inaugurated the bossa nova revolution with "Chega de Saudade," Joco Gilberto's newest collection proves the master can still transfix us with his guitar, voice and infectious melodies. This collection, produced by Caetano Veloso, clocks in at a scant 30 minutes, but what a lovely 30 minutes it is. The sound is stripped down to the bare essentials, leaving only that remarkable voice and trademark guitar. The ten tracks include new versions of several bossa standards, including "Chega de Saudade" and "Desafinado." Gilberto also features such Veloso compositions as "Desde que o Samba I Samba" and "Coragco Vagabundo." --Michael Cowan --
