Elis Regina - Como & Porque (1969)

This 1969 Elis Regina is the one zecalouro likes most. Elis at her best. A wonderful JazzBossa piece closing the breezy 60's style greatly.

Roberto Menescal is the arranger and adds a lot of beauty to the final outcome. Elis vocals are wonderful as always, full of scats on a track list that goes from Milton Nascimento, Gismonti, Edu Lobo and even a French song - that the lazy zecalouro cannot remember.

It is a great closing of a wonderful decade. Elis at her best and a non-stop blend of incredible Bossa Nova tracks in a row.
