Bossa Nova Stories
CD (Item 480210) Blue Note, 2009 -- Condition: New Copy
Beautiful bossa from Eliane Elias -- and a great reminder of how much we love her work in this style! The set's recorded with a warmly lyrical feel -- core backing by a small combo with Oscar Castro Neves on guitar, amidst fuller strings arranged by Rob Mathes -- never too lush, and always with the gentle, spacious sound that you might find in some mid 60s bossa nova album on Elenco! Eliane's vocals really fit the setting nicely -- with only a few contemporary touches to give her away -- and the album also features guests appearances from Toots Thielemans on harmonica and Ivan Lins on vocals. Titles include "The Girl From Ipanema", "The More I See You", "Desafinado", "Estate", "Day In Day Out", "I'm Not Alone", "Chega De Saudade", "They Can't Take That Away From Me", "A Ra", and "Superwoman". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||

Teach Me Tonight (Japanese paper sleeve edition): An even deeper jazz set than Nicole Henry's first album -- recorded with the Eddie Higgins Trio, and done in a style that's traditional, yet extremely soulful! There's a sound here that reminds us a ... read more Vocalists (CD) 21.99 |
Mina Canta I Beatles: Pure pop magic from the lovely Mina -- a very weird little record in which she takes on a host of mid-period tracks by The Beatles! The sound is as offbeat as the cover's take on Revolver -- kind of ... read more Vocalists (CD) 14.99 | ||||
Time To Swing (with bonus tracks): It's time to swing, but with a classy sound throughout -- very much the best mix of modes Dakota Staton brought to her key early years at Capitol Records! Backings are by Sid Feller, and are pretty d... read more Vocalists (CD) 14.99 |
Transition: A wonderful set from Zoot Money -- a solo project, away from his big band -- recorded with a soulful groove that's right up there with the best 60s work by Georgie Fame! That's no surprise, though, g... read more Vocalists (CD) 12.99 | ||||
