Really beautiful work from Joyce – a set that's as lovely as its name, and which contains a wonderful array
of work from the less-collected years
of her career! Most other Joyce collections focus on her older s
ides for EMI Brasil, but this set seems to offer more recent recordings – all done in a spare, but lively style that mixes acoustic guitar with earthy percussion, occasional jazz solos, and Joyce's always-warm vocals! Notes are all in Japanese, so the origin
of the tracks is a bit obscure – but the album's got a magic power that sparkles only in Joyce's best work, and really presents her at the top
of her unique style. Titles include "Sao Salvador", "O Chines E A Bicicleta", "Waters
Of March", "Tenderly", "Estrada Do Sol", "Menini Das Laranjas", "Samba Da Zona", "Essa Mulher", and "Receita De Samba".
