CD Reviews

Great stuff - but not his last...by any means
douglasnegley | Pittsburgh, Pa. United States | 08/22/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is Jobim the way HE wants it - with his family at the core of things and unabashedly romantic, as always. 'Passarim' is a cry for the environment and the forest that Jobim loves. Also Jobim plays with the lyrics as never before, interjecting Portugese into English and vice-versa (and a little French, too). In 'Chansong' Jobim pokes fun at the U.S. and the whole mood is one of satire regarding the way his music was boiled down, stripped of all subtlety, then regurgitated. For more of this band and one of my all time favorite recordings, see if you can locate "Antonio Brasileiro" which was released I think in 1993 or 1994, and which contains a version of "Insensatez (How Insensative) with Sting and Jobim singing and harmonizing on it. This was released in Brazil, but perhaps not in the U.S. Check the U.K. if not. If you have any reservations about lush vocal arrangements (which I emphatically do not) this is not the CD for you..."
Even Gershwin is included here....

"I have enjoyed this Jobim album since it first came out in the late 1980s. The title track is another soulful Jobim melody and the arrangements of everything on the CD are first-rate. My favorite, though, is the Gershwin "Fascinatin' Rhythm" track which was a complete surprise to me, something which Jobim puts his own spin on--in a delightful way. This album belongs in every Jobim collection, definitely."
Passarim is a dream

"One of my favorites - although it doesn't make a great first impression, on further listening the obscure melodic complexity really grabbed me. The title track is a masterpiece......highly recommended."
