Customer Reviews:

Remarkable lyricist from Brazil in a good songbook sung by vocal masters from Brazil.......2007-01-20

This is an interesting compilation because it covers two different aspects.

First it is a songbook of Vinicius De Moraes, the lyricist of Bossa Nova containing his collaboration with great Bossa Nova composers at the time (late 50s and all 60s): Antonio Carlos Jobim, Baden Powell, and Carlos Lyra. Toquinho was a post-Bossa Nova composer and guitarrist to whom De Moraes became associated in his last decades.

Second it is a panel of great Brazilian crooners and songbirds what includes Elis Regina, Sylvia Telles, Os Cariocas, Agostinho dos Santos and the vocal group Os Cariocas.

Though I don't think some performers were not the best choice and even considering there is quite a lot more on De Moraes which was not included, this is a reasonable CD for those who wish to dig a little bit more on this lyricist.

In other words, though this compilation was a good idea, I think label Universal did not choose the best from its archives on De Moraes.

Great CD & Really a Greatest Hits Collection!.......2006-08-20

There seem to be a lot of greatest hits collection of Sergio Mendes that frankly aren't ... but this qualifies. If you love old school 60's bossa nova-fun trip hop-easy listening and sunny pop, this is a great collection - these are really their greatest hits ... though the 2-disc "Very Best of Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 [IMPORT]" (also from Amazon) also contains all these tracks plus another 20 or more tracks so if you love Sergio, that is an even better deal!

Bossa Bossa Bossa USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-05-18

Brubeck successfully incorperated three major musical influences into his quartet; jazz, classical, and Bossa Nova. This album is a classic, yet fails to make it big on cd. (in America anyway) The most memorable songs on this album were the opener, Bossa Nova USA, and Trolley Song. All the other songs got good melody hoooks and good musicianship. During this time, drummer Joe Morello had developed some interesting latin rythms and drum beats. It's great how Brubeck incorperated this great style of music into his brilliant jazz, because Stan Getz Bossa Nova, is a little boring for me.

Indeed, some of the Best Brazilian Jazz * * * * * * * * * *.......2003-02-02

This album is well conceived (it could use some suggestions for Volume 2 though) with a balanced mix of modern and vintage Brazilian Jazz; some of the most recent cuts are:
* Mas que Nada/Leo Gandelman, * Bananeira/Bebel Gilberto, * Un Homme et une Femme/Ithamara Koorax, * Orfeu/.
Some of those great classics from the past are:
* Influencia do Jazz/Tamba Trio, *Batida Diferente/Sergio Mendes and * Amor de Nada/Luis Carlos Vinhas.
Overall, this CD is extremely enjoyable and I would absolutely recommend it to all those serious fans of Brazilian Jazz out there.
**P.S. You will be soon looking for albums by these people.

An insider's view of Brazilian bossa nova.......2006-11-27

This is a very good and very atypical bossa nova retrospective, songs selected by music journalist Ruy Castro. This disc is intended as an audio companion to his excellent book, "Bossa Nova" (originally titled "Chega De Saudade," in Portuguese), and to the as-yet untranslated sequel, "A Onda Que Se Ergueu No Mar," a history of bossa nova music in the 1970s and beyond. Both books, and this album, are well worth picking up.

Outstanding Collage of Bossa Novas.......2006-06-14

I'd like to begin this double CD review by saying that if you like/love the following: Bossa Nova / Brazilian Jazz / Brazilian Music and/or Great Music in general,you need to add this superlative collage to your CD collection.

This selection was chosen and put together by Ruy Castro, famous and successful writer who specializes in Bossa Nova and Brazilian Music in general.
Here Ruy has the opportunity to musically display the great music he writes about in his books; music that has been meticulously chosen from the past 5 decades 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's, and music that is without a single doubt, a superb collection.
Actually many of these cuts are now rare, and no longer available in their original albums like: Emilio Santiago's version of Tristeza de Nos Dois, among many others.

Procure a copy for yourself while still available !!!!!!
