So achingly cool

"Since first hearing these haunting tunes 26 years ago, each revisit has been a treat. You can't listen to Desafinado or Corcovado and not want to curl up on a couch with someone you love and a glass of good wine. The melodies range from sprightly to melancholy, so you'll always find one to fit your mood. The Getz/Gilbero/Jobim album is no less an all-star than this one, but don't miss this dose of undiluted Jobim magic."

Delicate Songbird flying in an Antonio Carlos Jobim ensemble

Miucha is the one-word name and nickname of a delicate Brazilian songbird in a low key style but pretty fine tuning. Her good taste for repertoire choice is her another quality.



If it is important to you: she is sister to Chico Buarque and was wife to Joao Gilberto.



This was a smash hit album in Brazil and it includes fresh new material like 'Vai Levando', a delicious Bossa Nova with its chorus "a gente vai levando'.



Jobim's presence is a registered mark with his special and well crafted ensemble. He plays the piano and sings along with Miucha.



All sung in Portuguese."
