5.0 out of 5 stars Worth 10 Stars......by Far !!!!!!!!!!, September 1, 2005

This review is from: Kicking Cans (Audio CD)

This CD is an absolute knock-out.
Dori Caymmi is one of many underrated artists from the super rich realm of Brazilian music; the reason why? the abundance of cheap and superficial commercial music everywhere.
This is a fantastic Brazilian Jazz CD with so many different interesting concepts that you wouldn't believe, concepts that only educated ears can perceive; the compositions, the performance, the "swing", the timings, the guests:
Don Grusin,
Dave Grusin,
Abraham Laboriel,
Paulinho Da Costa,
Gregg Karukas,
Brandord Marsalis,
Ivan Lins,
Yutaka Yokokura,
Teco Cardoso,
John Patitiucci,
Claudio Slon,
Herbie Hancock,
Ricardo Silveira,
etc. etc.
I recommend it to you if you're into Jazz, Brazilian Jazz, or simply into beautiful and intelectual music.

5.0 out of 5 stars As nostalgic and deep as it's name, January 6, 2000

This review is from: Kicking Cans (Audio CD)

With that exclusive and incredible voice of Dori Caymmi, this album is full of deep feelings expressed with no words, just the music from the Dori's heart and soul. I was shocked when I heard this album, was my christmas present from my big brother, and I never been impacted like this with any album. This album contains the end titles song of the HAVANA movie, "Hurricane Country", which is a very nostalgic song with certain sadness. I really recommend this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most sexy version of "Brasil" ever recorded, July 4, 2001

By 

"louiselink" (Woodside, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kicking Cans (Audio CD)

This album has the most sensual, moving version of the song "Brasil" ever to have been recorded. You can feel the heartbeat down to your fingertips. Herbie was nominated for a Grammy for his piano solo on this song. If Herbie's solo and Dori's arrangment doesn't get you seriously in the groove, you need to get a pacemaker installed immediately. Dori Caymmi is one of the best composers and arrangers alive today. If you don't know his work, you need to get familiar with it while he is still here to share it. He has worked with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Quincy Jones and numerous other awesome musicians. I have purchased everything that he has ever recorded and would walk to the end of the earth to hear him play live. This guy is phenomenal and not to be missed...
