3.0 out of 5 stars Brazilian Songs in English or Native Language?, February 10, 2001

This is a CD just for Murphy's fans, anyway. However, hurts me give only a 3-star quotation to the best, to the Master. This is just because singing in Portuguese should be restricted to 1 or 2 tracks as a "curious or exotic" track. Of course Murphy is glorious in English. Of course this is the same great jazz vocalist of this century end/beginning. Also Brazilian ensemble here is good though not brilliant. Note: This is to remind you I am a Portuguese Native speaker and a forever fan of Murphy music since his beginnings in the 50s.

Perhaps I'm the greatest Mark Murphy fan in Europe. But I can't believe my ears with this album.
Listen to Mark singing in portuguese. It's terrible. Please Mark listen to a native singer like Marcos Valle the next time you've an idea to record a brazilian album. Where's the happy feeling in this album by the way? Left at Copacabana?

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice production, nice Ivan Lins songs, September 27, 1999

I'm not a big fan of Mark Murphy, but I like this album for the Ivan Lins songs, most of them done in English. The title track and 'Velas' are the highlights for me. The backing by Azymuth, Claudio Roditi and an altoist whose name I forget is outstanding.
