Rita Reys - Rita Reys Sings Antonio Carlos Jobim (1983)

Yesterday we had Maria Petersen from Denmark with Luiz Eca singing Bossa Nova, let's continue today with another female singer from Europe, now singing the Antonio Carlos Jobim repertoire; this is Rita Reys - Rita Reys Sings Antonio Carlos Jobim (1983). Rita Reys is from The Netherlands, known as Europe's First Lady of Jazz, she started her career 60 years ago and stills active, touring with combos or accompanied by orchestras around Europe.

Andrade sent this LP; he is a great Rita Reys fan. Andrade made all the hard work, cleaning his old vinyl, preparing the MP3s, cover and sending to zecalouro using the Send Files application. Thanks Andrade! This LP has orchestral arrangements from Rogier Van Otterloo and Rita Reys is backed by the Pim Jacobs Quartet. Tracks include:

01 - How Insensitive
02 - Dindi
03 - So Danco Samba
04 - Once I loved
05 - Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars
06 - This Happy Madness
07 - Triste
08 - Song of the Sabia
09 - Meditation
10 - Once Again
