Easy Does It.......2007-01-10

Passos has a lovely,wonderful tone, and these songs are
good for relaxation and soothing vibes. Carter is
one of the masters. I had hoped to hear a bit more of an
edge to Passos voice and to her approach, and I will look
at some of her other albums for this variance.

One of my favorite albums.......2006-12-12

I was turned on to jazz when I was very young by the album Getz/Gilberto which my mom would always play at cocktail parties. I was particularly entranced by the gentle beautiful melodies and the simple singing and guitar style of Gilberto on the album. 40 years later, it is still one of my favorite albums and musical styles.

I recently bought a brazilian compilation that included Rosa Passos and I immediately rushed to Amazon and bought a few of her albums, including this one. I was instantly drawn to this one from the fact that Ron Carter was on the album as I primarily listen to Jazz and he is one of the great bass players of all time.

I was not disappointed. This album is so pure and so gorgeous. Rosa is the best student of Gilberto I have ever found down to her lovely unadorned soulful voice and perfect swinging guitar. The stripped down slightly jazzy treatment she gets from Ron and her band are the perfect accompaniment because it serves to frame her voice and guitar so well. Of all the Rosa albums I have, this is my favorite because it is so unadorned and unproduced. (Have not listened to her newest album, which is just her and her guitar - so for purests, that may be even better :)

Listen to it whenever you want to feel joy and the feeling of being a million miles from home on a tropical beach somewhere. Pure pleasure.

Passos/Carter=Entre amigos or 2 gentle souls.......2005-09-10

I thought I had written enough reviews here at amazon.and this review is not really needed..you can read the review by "Carlos from Rio" which says it all.
Anyway....I never heard of Rosa Passos until 6 months ago when I heard her on radio and was so amazed..the very same way as when I heard Wes Montgomery the first time in the sixties.Rosa Passos might remind a bit of Astrud Gilberto but has more "soul" in her voice even though her voice is quite "small" compared to other female jazz singers....but she sure has that jazzfeel that also Jobim had.
To me this Cd is so appealing since it is more or less completely accoustic..2 guitars. Rosa herself+ the wonderful guitarplayer Lula Galvao that is one of the best guitarplayers I ever heard. very subtle with a touch of flamenco .on bass it is maestro himself Ron carter..his playing is so obviuos and without any flashy pyrrotechnics..but just beautiful.
It is difficult to pick highlights,,,,but first song "Bahia Com H" immediately catches my ear..and also "Sorru Para Mim with it's airy feel and wonderful bossagroove..where Rosa lays slightly behind the beat and creates a very swinging mood..just great..and "Feitio de Oracao" which has an atmosphere of "Tristeza" and Hope in it at the same time spiced up with a wonderfully melody line.
Since I bought this one I have bought another 6 CD s with Rosa and I will continue until I have them all...you can not simply get enough of Rosa Passos music...To hear Rosa Passos sing is the closest you can come to heaven on this earth

Rosa Has A Voice Like No Other!!!.......2004-12-23

This is one of the best bossa nova cd's around with 2 major artists collaborating. I have never heard such a plain, yet sublime voice like that of rosa passos. Just listen to Feito de Oração and Primera Vez. No actually just listen to the whole cd and you will begin to understand. When I first heard this cd I was living in P.R. at the time and I mistook the music for spanish jazz. The lyrics are definitely not spanish, instead portuguese and the style of music is all its own, known as bossa nova. Because I listen to a lot of jazz it took me a while to get into it because of the language. However now that I am more knowledgeable about bossa nova, I will say that this cd is already a classic. I wish more of rosa passos music was avalilable in the United states.

Rosa Baiana.......2004-04-30

Rosa is the best! I've never heard a more sensual voice. Her Insensatez is marvellous, I am surprised at how she LIVES every line and every word of it. For me it's the best rendition of my best-loved Jobim song. The first time I heard Insensatez sung by Italian singer Mina, she was also stunning, she made it cold like ice, like wind in the mountains, like the moment when there are no more tears to cry... but Rosa's Insensatez is full of love and even of secret hope. Bahia com H is breezy and swinging, the other highlights are the last three songs, especially Vinicius de Moraes' famous sonnet Eu Sei que Vou te Amar. Before I heard Rosa I never could have imagined that such effortless vocals could reach a degree of dramatism close to Maria Bethania's. Bethania breaks your heart with her force, and Rosa does it with her whisper. To do justice to Ron Carter and other musicians, their arrangement is the best frame for the diamond that is Rosa's voice. Especially I loved the saxophone solo in Desafinado.

Making Friends Anew.......2004-11-29

Wanda Sá, Roberto Meneschal and Marcos Valle are three major stars of Bossa Nova since the late 1960's. This is the recording of their 2002 show that I managed to see twice in Rio de Janeiro. It brings them together to sing many of their early hits along with some newer numbers. This "boutique" album really showcases these marvelous songs and their talents for a new generation of Bossa Nova fans. Roberto Meneschal generally pairs with Wanda Sá and Marco Valle with new singer Patrícia Alví, whose voice, although very pleasant to listen to, lacks the richness that comes with Wanda Sá's experience.

The album is a worthy compilation of their material marred only by the usual live album problems of annoying applause before and after songs.
