If Antonio Carlos Jobim is the compositional force behind the bossa nova, and jazz tenor saxophonist Stan Getz is its most eloquent American interpreter, then Joao Gilberto is its angelic voice. Since 1958, Gilberto's haunted and lyrical Brazilian-born Afro-Indian Portuguese has seduced generations with its sophistication and seductiveness. This CD, produced by Caetano Veloso, is Gilberto's first studio recording in nearly 10 years and it's well worth the wait. With just his voice and his guitar, Gilberto fills the heart and head with enough musical force to equal a symphony orchestra. Of course, the classic bossa nova titles "Desafinado," "Voce vai Ver," and "Chega de Saudade" retain their pathos and power. Gilberto christens Veloso's "Desde que Samba e Samba" and "Coracao Vagabundo;" Ernesto Lecuona's "Eclipse" and Gilberto Gil's "Eu Vim da Bahia" with the same soulful sounds that made him a legend for 40 years. --Eugene Holley Jr.

4 out of 5 stars Admirably Straight-Forward.......2006-06-18

This is a simple, yet intimate album. It sounds like what you might hear had you Joao Gilberto over for drinks and got him to play his guitar for a half hour. I am not very familiar with Joao Gilberto's music (I am better acquainted with his ex-wife Astrud's). Mostly what I know of him is from the classic Getz-Gilberto album. But if this album is any indication, Joao's talent has not diminished since the 1960s. He made a wise artistic choice here and recorded these tracks with just him on guitar and singing. No drums, sythns, or strings. Most of the songs I was unfamiliar with, other than the classic Desafinado. Perhaps great musicians of the 1960s can never really recapture the sound they had perfected back then, whether it be Joao Gilberto, Bob Dylan, or Paul McCartney. What does come through here is the charm of a great musician standing alone. This is not a long album or an ambitious one, but it is an honest one, and one that you will not tire of listening to. A good choice for bossa nova fans.

5 out of 5 stars extraordinary.......2005-12-26

This CD is an extraordinary experience of one voice with one guitar. For 40 years I've waited for the perfect Joao Gilberto album, and finally here it is.

5 out of 5 stars The essentials.......2004-04-05

I've taken a discovery dive into the wonderworld of Brazilian music, which was mostly unbeknowst to me, even being Brazilian myself. From all the different genres and musical movements I've researched, bossa nova is by far the most inspired. It was the most creative ever made in this country and I think nothing better will ever be done. To listen to any given bossa nova song is to look at a snapshot of the Brazilian soul. And this was the first bossa nova record I bought. I'm looking forward to buying Gilberto's earlier, orchestrated work, part of which I've listened to on the internet, but for me, this is really what his music is all about: voice, guitar, and silence. Any bossa nova fan should buy this. By the way, I strongly disagree with those who call bossa nova "chill out" music. The interpretation of "Coração Vagabundo" in this album is one of the most angsty, sad songs I've ever heard, and "Chega de Saudade" is a wonderful bittersweet tale and I love João Gilberto's rendition of it, especially the guitar rythm.

3 out of 5 stars Zen Baiano's voice will never be the same again..........2004-03-30

Joao has remained the same romantic crooner that he was 40 years ago, but his voice is not the same... it's natural it won't ever be the same, our beloved Zen Baiano is getting on... The arrangements somewhat lack expression, they produce and impression of drowsiness. However I have to admit such arrangement is quite good in Eclipse (perhaps the best song of the disk, it's gently swinging like the reflection of the moon on the water). I also enjoyed Da Cor do Pecado, a lovely, sensual tune... But the overall impression is that his best times are gone.

4 out of 5 stars Joao rocks!.......2004-03-03

But seriously, this is a really nice record. It's only thirty minutes long, but it's just about the right length. I hope that when I'm in my late 60s my meager abilities are half as in tact as Gilberto's considerable ones have remained, fully; his voice and guitar playing are strong, persuasive, and soothing. One of my family members remarked that this is good sleeping music, and, yeah, I guess so, but I get pretty inspired by the stuff. For me it's an eye-opener, something to get exciting about. But maybe I'm just easily excitable. Give yourself a gift and try out Joao Gilberto (and Jobim and Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil and Milton Nascimento . . .).

esto es historico. en el disco podemos escuchar a Djavan junto con los musicos de Elis Regina (la banda completa).
una musicalidad......unas canciones que te dicen el valor que tiene como compositor. El samba es su mejor faceta, junto con la musica africana. Aca no está el Djavan empalagoso de ahora, este disco registra su mejor momento.
este es su mejor disco.
este, Luz, Lilás y Seduzir son discos imperdibles

5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE!!! Que Beleza.......2003-11-02

What makes a great Brazilian album? Great grooves, beautiful melodies, interesting compositions, diversity and excellent playing. This collection of Djavan songs has all of these qualities. Like much of MPB, the happy melodies and up-beat rhythms are complimented by excellent lyrics often about sadness and an out-of-reach love. Ironically, a listen to this will lift even the most macabre of moods. This is one of the few albums that I can listen to all the way through more then once and falls into my top ten of Brazilian albums.

5 out of 5 stars Violao Brasileiro.......2006-08-20

Dilermando Reis is a musician and composer. He is unique. He is sentimental. He plays with the heart. Above all, his compositions are so meaningful, beaultiful and brings the brazilian soul from a time before the well-known bossa nova. Few people around the world knows him, but who knows loves him. He is part of me, I don't know what more to say...
Technically speaking, the recording could be not so good. But the music and the musician, the most important thing, are fantastic. Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Brazilian Popular Guitar Made Classic.......2004-06-22

    This CD is a result of years of research by Bellinati, who tried to reproduce the way Garoto really played. But (whoever knew Garoto knows that) Bellinati plays him even better, transforming early popular Brazilian music for guitar in classic and universal music. Poor and nice guitar sound. I have given the CD more than once as a gift, and everybody loved it.

    5 out of 5 stars Raul Jose's Review.......2001-05-31

    Garoto is a Brazilian legend and phenomenon. Paolo Bellinati is a first class guitarist and musician. The CD pairs the two and the result is pure magic. Not only is the CD entertaining and impressive, it provides a much needed service by promoting Garoto's music. Absolutely first class!

      4 out of 5 stars A nice later album by a legendary Brazilian vocalist.......2004-07-05

      A lovely, posthumously released concert album, taken from a series of shows in late 1989 with Nelson Goncalves, one of Brazil's great romantic singers, and the fabulous acoustic guitar of the late Raphael Rabello. As ever, Rabello proved himself an able and evocative accompanist, while Nelson Goncalves, then 70 years old, was still a singer of tremendous clarity and power. It's corny, it's slushily romantic, but it's also very classy, and Rabello's trilling guitar work nudges the music towards the sublime. Recommended!
