CD

✈
Lovely little bossa nova tracks from singer Sonia Roza – a vocalist who's so sensitive, her vocals almost take second stage to the jazzy backings in the set! And the backings are especially nice – given that they're served up by the quartet of Sadao Watanabe – which features some great flute and guitar on most of the tracks! Some tunes have just a bit of light added strings, but never too much – and although Sonia often sings in English, she does so with an accented style that's completely charming – a fair bit like Claudine Longet at her early A&M best. Titles include "The Look Of Love", "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", "Secret Love", "Tristeza", "The Girl From Ipanema", "Desafinado", and "Meditation" – all done in a really great dreamy mode!  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
