Music reviews of Brazilian Dreams
Music Review: A diamond in the rough..don't miss this one.
Rating: 5 Stars
It's fairly rare for a vocal album, especially an vocal ensemble album, to come out without loads of cringe-worthy Manhattan Transfer cheese. At best, you usually get one or two just okay tracks in a sea of crap. This album is a full on exception to the rule.
The Jobim cuts are uniformly very interesting and well put together. The Manaha de Carnival/Gentle Rain pairing is also very nice, despite lagging behind a bit in the ensemble writing, and "One for Tom" contains some phenomenal ensemble writing that somehow makes the handful of musicians sound like a big band.
The ensemble is a mix of the Pittsburgh crowd, the New York Voices, and of course Paquito and Claudio on the reeds and trumpet. It's recorded at MCG (a surprisingly decent venue for a place with the jazz scene of Pittsburgh).
Don't miss this one. It's worth it for the ensemble writing alone.
