A Beautiful tribute to a Brazilian Master.......2006-02-16

Moacir Santos is a master composer, arranger and saxophonist. His shore is Brazilian Jazz with a combo comprising rhythm section + brass in a unique combination which is consistently applied to such original and unconventional compositions.

In the late 60s, Santos went to live in the USA where he's recorded three albums for Blue Note Records. He also became an auxiliary writer for some great arranger just like Billy Byers was to Quincy Jones.

'Ouro Negro' is a 2-CD album dedicated to the music of Moacir Santos. It was recorded in 2003 under his direction. He was already retired then at his 79 years old but all his great arrangements are there as played by current important in Brazil's music scene in brand-new renditions.

Tracks cover music from Santos' classic album "Coisas" (also available here @Amazon) and also from his three American albums.

Features some Santos' standards like 'Coisa #5' (aka 'Nana'), 'April Child', 'Suk-Cha' and 'Mother Iracema' all with great updated arrangements.

Also features Gilberto Gil, Djavan and Milton Nascimento plus sime unnecessary vocals.

A wonderful revelation!.......2005-02-23

So I'm in Sao Paulo having dinner with a Brazilian friend and we're discussing Brazilian music and he mentions this CD and Moacir Santos. He knows I know something about Brazilian music despite the fact I'm a gringo. But I had never heard of this guy and so I must have flashed a completely blank look. My friend shrugged and told me to go buy it. Of course I couldn't find it in Brazil so I ordered it online and it was waiting for me when I got home. But I did pick up a copy of Coisas and got a taste of what to expect.

Oh my goodness--it is heaven! It is unbelievably familiar especially for those who pay attention to jazz and to movie soundtracks. Apparently Santos has lived in Pasadena for over 30 years, toiling in obscurity in the film business. His sound is unbelievably comforting and listenable.

Perhaps this is his time and this is an extraordinary pair of cds. Obviously a labor of love by those who organized and produced this in Brazil, I can not recommend it enough.

Definitely check it out...

Black gold, in deed.......2004-11-20

Big band Brazilian music was never that attractive to me. The music on this CD is different, however. It's got the most beautiful compositions. The arrangements are fantastic. And the rhythms are fabulous. This CD may turn into a classic sooner than one might think. Black gold, in deed.

Compelling Arrangements.......2004-11-17

Two cds pack in the music, with new versions of instrumental and jazz standards providing the compelling arrangements equally applicable to a dinner club, casual listener or avid jazz fan venue alike.

Ouro Negro + Moacir Santos = Colors of Brazil.......2004-11-12

Ouro Negro is a recent release by one of my long time favorites, Moacir Santos. I owe him a great debt of gratitude for bringing such joy into my life. This is a beautful CD by one of the long-acknowledged maestros of Brazil. It has incredibly intricate, yet accessible rhythms, lush harmonies, soaring solos from some of the great musicians of his country, and the essence of Moacir's joyous spirit! Favorite tunes?? Hard to pick and choose, but "Mother Iracema," "Suk-Cha," and "Carnaval" are hard to beat.

If you are in love with the music of Brazil, you owe it to yourself to own this one. I wish I could give it 6 stars!

I smiled from ear to ear from the moment I put it on until the last song ended.

bizarrely beautiful.......2005-08-03

I must agree with the above comments. Having become a bit of a Brazil nut, I keep on discovering more wonderful & "unusual" [at least to Western ears] music from Brazil. Joao is an amazing guitarist, writer & vocalist. The vocal acrobatics of which he is master never take away from the musical content, but rather serve it. His voice will astound & refresh your ears! I own 5 of his recordings & there are no duds! His style is difficult to categorize: gentle ballads, frenzied sambas, African-influenced songs, smooth pop/jazz crosses - no words can really explain his music. You need to hear this guy. He will sneak up on you with each playing. You WILL become hooked on Bosco's sound!

An Unsung Giant.......2004-10-19

Though surely a legend in Brazil, João Bosco is relatively unknown outside the Coconut/Cachaça Land. Which is a shame - because he would be a delight to listen to for all those who love Tom Jobim or João Gilberto but don't have the guts to venture further into the jungle of Brazilian folk-jazz.

True, his style is not an instant hit, and when I first bought a Bosco CD, I was like "Gee... what the hell...", but a few times later, you get hooked, and you know that your musical experience can only be complete with Bosco echoeing in your brain. What this guy does with his voice... kinda hard to believe he's a Homo Sapiens. It's not just a pleasant sound, it's the rhythm acrobatics that is so out of this world. Don't make me try to be more specific. I'm not a critic. Besides, even the best critic would sound silly trying to describe it to someone who hasn't ever heard it.

The greatest strength of this album is "Então o que quereis / Corsário". - one of the most melodious tracks (and least bizarre to the non-initiated).

Un gran compositor.......2000-06-14

Este disco es en realidad una selección de 2 discos de João: Galos de briga (1976) y Linha de passe (1979). En él podemos apreciar principalmente el genio compositivo de Bosco. Hay grandes temas que popularizara Elis Regina como "O bebado e a equilibrista", "Transversal do tempo", "Gol anulado" y "O rancho da goiabada", aquí cantados por su autor. Melodías apasionantes, armonías perfectas y -quizás el punto más flojo- arreglos de la época, hacen de este disco un infaltable para una buena discoteca de Música Popular Brasileira.

As a collector of Bosco recordings, I have many that I play regularly. This is my favorite, combining many of Joao's most successful compositions and performances. Great variety of style displays his brilliant virtuosity as a vocalist as well as true genius as a musician.
