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.
Hi Zecaluro,
ReplyDeleteThe French song you've mentioned is "Recit de Cassard" from the Jacques Demy's movie "Les parapluies de Cherbourg" (song composed by Michel Legrand).
This standard has been adapted in english as "Watch what happens" (an excellent instrumental version featured in the "Som Tres Show" album :-)
Cheers !
loronix can rarely get better than this record. Thank you soooo much.

I agree! This is my favorite LP by her too. Quite honestly, I prefer Nara, Dóris & Gracinha Leporace more.
ReplyDeleteIt´s very rare to find someone who points "Como e Porque" as one of Elis Regina´s best albums. I totally agree with you.
