This CD is truly something!, November 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Brazil Blue (Audio CD)
I have to applaud the compiler of this CD. The tracks seem to complement one another almost if they had each been recorded to do so. Of course that is not the case, since they were all recorded over a 30+ year timespan. The mood of this CD is relaxed, mystical, reflective one, which I believe to be well summed up by the title "Brazil Blue." Some songs are better than others, but that is only because some of the songs are true gems. Unfortunately the two best songs head off the lineup, but what follows is also well worth listening to and the songs that close off the album are particularly good. With the exception of Joao Gilberto's "Corcovado," Joyce's "Samba de Uma Nota So/Surfboard," and Ivan Lins "Comecar de Novo," the songs selected for this disc are not the most commonly found on compilations which I feel helps to give this album its unique character.
