5.0 out of 5 stars The very first and must-have album by Milton Nascimento, February 25, 2006
By Carlos from Rio "Carlos from Rio" (Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil) - See all my reviews
  

This is the very first album by Mr. Nascimento with string arrangements by the great Luiz Eca and with rhythm section by famous Luiz Eca and Bebeto Castilho's Tamba Trio.

An extraordinary musical background for a beginning artist, a fabulous composer and crooner who had just entered the scene.

The track list is practically a list of standards of the so-called 'sound of Minas' which Nascimento brought to life along with his peers from the State of Minas Gerais in Brazil, a group self-called 'Clube da Esquina' (the Corner Club).

All tracks became standards of post-Bossa Nova music in Brazil. They include 'Travessia' (Bridges as recorded by Tony Bennett years later), 'Tres Pontas', 'Cancao do Sal' (also with an extraordinary rendition by Elis Regina), 'Morro Velho' and 'Outubro'.

This is a reference album of post-Bossa Nova Brazilian music.
Also a reference album of modern Brazilian crooning.
All sung in Portuguese.

5.0 out of 5 stars Travessia: The Beginning, April 13, 2004
By "sayonarasomerset-butler" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This was Milton's first album and a musst for anyone interested in his music. My two favorite tracks are Canção do Sal and the title track Travessia. There is a lot of emotion and feelings of hope in this album, which is very relevant considering that it was recorded during the period of the military dictatorship in Brazil. Many of his later albums would be heavily censored, but this one escaped to show Brazil and the world that Milton was here to stay.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic - it's that simple, July 23, 2004
By arroyo (Graton, CA United States) - See all my reviews
What a beautiful, soaring and soulful voice.

In fact, this album is worth its cost for this arrangement of "Travessia" alone. The music was recorded in 1967, and it has the orchestrated feel of that time; Eca and Deodato, who scored many movies, did the work here. Nascimento also performs great versions of Tres Pontas, Catavento, Morro Velho, and Outubro - songs that he has performed thousands of times since, many, on other albums - and these renditions stand out 37 years later. This music will never ever be dated or out-of-date.
