When I listen to the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim I am reminded a bit of Sweetcell: urbane, sophisticated, talented….what talent!
This album is cool because it’s a small combo with Jobim playing almost all the piano. Singing in his boring monotone- great composer not much of a singer- with Edu Lobo also singing to iron out the harsh Rosita. Relaxed. Nothing much exciting happens…like in the Pacific Northwest an hour from Seattle where Sweetcell lives. It’s quite calming…and sometimes that’s all you need…you don’t need a carnivalbroohaha with mostly naked people with feathers playing the bongos. That’s a different sort of Brazilian music…. And it’s not the pacific north woods
