Jazz-based bossas featuring the sexy voice and cool piano of Elias plus a tight band with solid arrangements. A mix of classic Brazilian tunes plus a few surprises (like Stevie Wonder’s “Superwoman.”) In English and Portuguese. Wonderful, sophisticated music. *1. Lush and sensual version of the classic. Honey-smooth. *2. So gorgeous midtempo samba classic. Absolutely delicious. 3. Slow jazz ballad with soft strings and a classic style. 4. Downtemp Gershwin, a romantic slow dance w/sophistication. 5. A sexy midtempo sway with a light, delicate touch. *6. Toots Thielemans harp accents this slow sway. Wonderful. 7. Relaxed jazz with stylish vocals and hip piano. 8. Slow strings, vocal duet w/a sweeping jazz arrangement. *9. Playfully sexy midtempo Johnny Mercer classic. Sweet. 10. More harmonica, downtempo w/a hint of blues. *11. Mid/uptempo w/tripping, light vocals & guitar. 12. Upbeat summertime in Brazil sound. Light & breezy. *13. Driving piano, fast vocals, gets into a cool jazz jam. 14. Slow love song with a lush orchestral arrangement. | ||
