VINICIUS CANTUARIA – VINICIUS CANTA ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM
A truly beautiful tribute to the classic songcraft of
Antonio Carlos Jobim – done with warmth, reverence and soul-stirring voice and
guitar by Vinicius Cantuaria! The Tom Jobim songbook is timeless, of course, so
it shouldn't come as a surprise that one of the finer Brazilian voices of a
later generation could handle it, but this set is exceptionally strong! Some of
the best numbers are on the spare side, with Cantuaria's voice up front in the
mix, giving it an intimate quality that we love – but it also includes some
wonderful musicians from both Rio and Tokyo – where the tracks were recorded –
plus some nice guest guitar work by Bill Frisell on a couple tunes and a lovely
duet with Joyce. Includes "Ligua", "Caminhos Cruzados"
featuring Joyce, "Vivo Sonhando", "So Danco Samba",
"Este Seu Ohlar", "Retrato Em Branco E Preto",
"Felicade", "Insensatez", "Inutil Paisagem",
"Voce Vai Ver", "Por Causa De Voce" and more. 13 in all. ~
