5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Collection of Talent, December 18, 1999

Rio Days Rio Nights is my 1st exposure to Paula Robison and her flute. This CD is a masterfully engineered collection of Latin-flavored smooth jazz tunes performed by a group of very talented musicians. What a talent Ms. Robison is. I give this CD a very enthusiastic two thumbs up! (both hands)

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully Fun & Expressive!!!, December 30, 2007

Each virtuosos in their own right, Paula Robison and company have done an incredible job in this wonderful collection of music for all to enjoy.

The performances featured on this album are perfect for classically trained flutists, world music fans, or any music lover to enjoy. From the 'swing' of "Rio Nights" (track 3) to the most expressive and beautiful piccolo solos of "Bem-te-vi" (track 8), this album radiates such an organic, tasteful, and fun loving energy that it is truly rewarding to listen to.

If you find that you like this recording - you might also research their first album together: Brasileirinho

Enjoy!

This review is from: Rio Days Rio Nights (Audio CD)

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to see Paula Robison perform with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in NYC a few weeks back, performing all 6 of the Bach Brandenburg Concerti. I was absolutely hooked by Ms. Robison's sound, style, vocal approach, virtuosity, and MUSICIANSHIP. I came across her Rio Days, Rio Nights this past week, and after much listening, I have to say how incredibly inspiring this album is. As a classical musician studying in the orchestral performance field, it is so refreshing to hear such an exciting new concept of where music can take us. Ms. Robison is the best kind of instrumentalist - the kind that sings every note that comes out of her flute. Her sense of style and phrase are stunning, and her artistry is simply incomparable (not to mention a sound that is full of richness and color like no other).

If you want to hear absolutely fantastic musicianship and a voice that keeps inspiring you with every new listen, buy this album.
