A master album of Bossa Nova vocals
Carlos from Rio | Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil | 02/24/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"
There are three master albums of Bossa Nova vocals:

- this Sinatra/Jobim album on Warner sung in English;

- Elis Regina/Tom Jobim album sung in Portuguese; and

- "Amoroso", the Joao Gilberto/Claus Ogerman collaboration, sung in Portuguese, English, Italian, Spanish!



Don't miss the chance to have all three.



Interesting to notice this is a rare songbook project in Sinatra's career and that there is another one with Jobim which was only half issued in Sinatra's title 'Sinatra & Co'.



Sinatra's choice on Jobim's standards was a kill. Sinatra's romantic approach was the precise one for the material while the swinging action was taken by the Bossa rhythm section, leaded by Jobim's guitar and extraordinary Dom Um Romao on drums, on splendorous string arrangements by Claus Ogerman.



Also interesting was the idea to include three American standards which matched taylor made to Bossa Nova: Irving Berlin's 'Change Partners', Cole Porter's 'I Concentrate on You' and Wright & Forest's 'Baubles Bangles and Beads' (from 'Kismet'). All delicious.



This is a mandatory album for a serious Bossa Nova collection.

Also for those who admires Sinatra, this album shows him in an extraordinary performance in a rather exotic ensemble for American standards."
