Music reviews of Bossa Nova
Music Review: Bossa Nova: John Pizzarelli's Fascinating Style
Rating: 5 Stars
"I hope you will take the journey with us
and hear a part of what so moved me
that early July morning on the AM airwaves.
I also hope that a little piece of this recording
will remain in your heart too, much like
Joćo's music and Brazil has remained in mine." ~ John Pizzarelli
What a very nice thought from a talented guitarist/vocalist/composer of our time, John Pizzarelli! What he heard from the airwaves that summer of '81 was Joćo Gilberto singing a Claus Ogerman arrangement of "Besame Mucho" from the album "Amoroso." And according to Mr. Pizzarelli "that record is a gift to the world. It remains an inspiration to all who hear it; and he always thought it to be the centerpiece of everything that Bossa Nova is and has become."
This CD is a testament of Pizzarelli's love for Bossa Nova, which has become a musical phenomenon. The marriage of American and Brazilian music was warmly embraced and welcomed by music lovers throughout the world. Its popularity is so overwhelming! Numerous great jazz legends, musicians and artists have recorded this kind of music.
Listen to one of the greatest compositions of the Gershwins -"Fascinating Rhythm" and you'll love the way Pizzarelli interpreted this standard - so splendidly arranged by Don Sebesky. This is one of my favorites and the best is yet to come! It blew me away when I heard the third track.... aaah that Jobim's gem of gems "The Girl From Ipanema." He did more than justice to this classic! I'd say it's merely SUPERB, that's the only word I can think of! Tom Jobim's grandson, Daniel Jobim, sang the equally marvelous Portuguese version.
Another standout is his interpretation of Sweet Baby James' "Your Smiling Face," with its Bossa Nova twist, this has become one of the best versions I've ever heard. I'm sure Mr. Taylor would have liked it! His renditions of Bossa Nova staples "Desafinado," "One Note Samba" and "So Danco Samba" and Stephen Sondheim's "I Remember" are fabulous. His own composition "Francesca" is so nice and has an exotic rhythm to it.
My ultimate favorite in this CD is Paul Williams/Ivan Lins/Victor Martins' "Love Dance." It's a very mellow song with words so eloquent and tune so captivating! Thank you Amazon.com for recommending this CD and many thanks to Mr. Pizzarelli for including this lovely song in your repertoire! Not to mention the equally talented jazz musicians who have helped Mr. Pizzarelli make this recording absolutely beautiful; Ray Kennedy (piano), Martin Pizzarelli (bass), Paulinho Braga (drums), Jim Saporito (percussion), Cesar Mariano (piano - "So Danco Samba"), Harry Allen (tenor sax) and Chiara Civello (background vocals).
This is certainly a CD-for-all-seasons!
