Music reviews of Brazilian Classics
Music Review: Authentically and Beautifully Rendered Brazilian Classics
Rating: 5 Stars
Eliane Elias' "Brazilian Classics" is all about Brazilian standards in its variety of flavors and kaleidoscope of colors, in many different styles and rhythms, some with vocals and some purely instrumentals. Here, she is joined by a bunch of seasoned musicians who greatly contributed their enormous talents to make this recording a true beauty--Michael Brecker (tenor sax), Dave Valentin (flute), Marc Johnson and Eddie Gomez (bass), Oscar Castro Neves (vocals/acoustic guitar), Ivan Lins (vocals), Jack DeJohnette and Peter Erksine (drums), to mention a few among many others. Released in 2003, this album was recorded under Blue Note Records, a famous recording company known for its superior quality jazz recordings.
Who can authentically and beautifully render Brazilian standards with much flair and creativity than Eliane Elias herself? As she sings "Chega de Saudade," she shows off not only her smooth vocals in her native tongue, but also her mastery on piano. She is one of the few female artists who can simultaneously and effortlessly sing and play piano and pull it off with ease and precision, and excel in both. Oscar Castro Neves' articulate guitar riffs complement Ms. Elias' self-assured reading of the lyrics, and dexterous tinkling of her cherished instrument, Steinway piano.
For female vocals, she has recorded the most authentically beautiful version of "Garota de Ipanema," which highlights the artistry of one of the greatest saxophonists in the jazz world, Michael Brecker. (For male vocals, my vote still goes to Frank Sinatra's sublime interpretation in his collaborative album with Antonio Carlos Jobim, "Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim," which is absolutely one of Frank Sinatra's very best recordings of all-time).
"Aquarela do Brazil," "Wave," "Dindi," "One Note Samba" and "Manha de Carnaval" are purely instrumentals which were ingeniously executed with lots of improvisations that made them standout from the rest of the tracks. These are testaments of excellent musicianship that Eliane Elias and the musicians delivered spotlessly. They made these classics fresh again with new twists that are so captivating to the ears without losing respect to the original tunes.
I enjoyed listening to this recording and would certainly recommend it to fans of Brazilian jazz. You'll be charmed with the spirit and musical ambiance of Brazil in its splendor. So listen now and have a warm and cozy musical adventure.
Happy Listening!
