fasstrack Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) 1974. Verve. If you don't own it, do. One of the all-time greats IMO. I never grow tired of it, Elis Regina, Tom Jobim, Cesar Mariano's timeless arrangements, the wonderful supporting cast of players. I have it as a goal to learn every note. I recommend especially making love or falling in love to it. Edited July 5, 2006 by fasstrack Quote
jazzbo Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 An excellent album. I'm not big on discussing albums, but I will say this one is a great introduction to Tom or Elis, and an important musical "event." Quote
Bluesman Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 One of those perfect recordings that gets better with age. I never tire of hearing this. I played this for a Brazilian friend who was feeling homesick while overseas and she was reduced to tears. Quote
Guy Berger Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) Hey, there's already an AOTW for this week. (Alon Marcus chose Art of Rhythm.) You should PM JohnS to sign up for a future slot. Guy Edited July 6, 2006 by Guy Quote
jazzbo Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 OOOH! Busted by the AOTW POLICIA! Just call this one the "Brazilian Album of the Week!" Quote
jazzbo Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 What I'll never forget about this album is the bubbling joy in Elis' voice in the exchanges in "Agua de Mars". . . unforgettable! Quote
Peter Johnson Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 My absolute favorite thing about this record. It's a wonder they made it to the end of the song--they were both laughing! Rarely is joy so palpable in an audio recording! I highly recommend this one. jazzbo said: What I'll never forget about this album is the bubbling joy in Elis' voice in the exchanges in "Agua de Mars". . . unforgettable! Quote

fent99 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 There's a special edition with DVD, anyone sprung for that? Also some out takes on the Jobim "man from ipanema" set. Not worth buying for that but its a great set Quote
jazzbo Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 The DVD edition is a DVD-Audio and there's no video portion. It will display on screen track by track the track and personnel information with an image of the cover photo, but that's it as far as video. Sounds really good! Quote
mr jazz Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) I've never bought the actual cd but have all tracks (i think) scattered across several other cds. It is a gem. Probably due for a remastering (if it hasn't already occurred). any unreleased stuff if there is any from the sessions would be nice as well. Elis, yet another drug casualty Edited July 7, 2006 by mr jazz Quote
