After Antonio Carlos Jobim, no Brazilian composer is more celebrated in America than Ivan Lins. This is mostly due to his jazz and pop musician friends who recognize his genius and record his music. Unlike Jobim, though, Lins hasn't experienced a breakthrough with a bona-fide pop hit. That could change with A Love Affair: The Music of Ivan Lins, an 11-song tribute that boasts Sting singing a brand-new Lins composition and Chaka Khan putting a funky spin on "Crue Cra Corroro," retitled with English lyrics as "So Crazy for the Love." Smooth-jazz fans will appreciate turns by Peter White and the late Grover Washington Jr., but it's the vocalists that make this tribute a must for Ivan Lins fans. Brenda Russell, one of his best American collaborators, delivers "Nocturne" as sensually as anything on her own Paris Rain, and her lyric to "You Move Me to This" is a real winner in the hands of Lisa Fischer and "D Train" Williams. However, Lins's patented combination of romance, jazzy harmonies, and Brazilian pop are best personified on the last three tunes with Freddy Cole, Dianne Reeves, Joe Sample, and (on the final pair of tunes) the honored composer himself. --Mark A.

A Love Affair: The Music Of Ivan Lins .......2007-04-02
Some real nice tunes and renderings.
One of the highlights for me, not surprisingly, is Vanessa's offering, "Love Dance," which is a killer ballad, delivered with such delicacy and grace as only Vanessa can. A stunning track. Worth the price of the CD, alone.

Simply one of the finest CDs ever recorded........2006-05-15
Every time you listen to it.......2005-02-17
I would swear that everytime I listen to it, I like it more and more.
Plus, it will send you seeking out more of Ivan Lins work. I discovered this by accident and now wonder what other great music I am missing out on.

A JOYOUS CELEBRATION - THE 2005 LATIN GRAMMY ALBUM OF THE YEAR.......2005-12-12
The CD was the surprise of the 2005 Latin Grammy Awards, taking the overall "Album of the Year", a first for a Portuguese singing artist. It also won the "MPB Album" Latin Grammy. The singing is in wonderful Portuguese, but the beautiful, powerful music will sweep you away without the need for translation. I speak no Portuguese and I love this music. There are also special guests on this CD: a smoldering performance by Simone (sporting a fetching short hairdo as seen on the CD insert), Jorge Vercilo in great form, and the elegant Zizi Possi, who add their special flair to this live performance.
My favorites, 'Pieces D'Resistance', are the joyous CD opener "Abre Alas" (Clear The Area), the beautiful gentle samba "Porta Entreaberta" (The Half-Opened Gate), Zizi Possi in duet with Ivan on the heartfelt "Bilhete" (Ticket), and the senusous Simone/Lins duet on "Comecar de Novo" (New Beginning, aka The Island). In addition, "Guarde nos Olhos" with Lins and Jorge Vercilo is spellbinding, as are classics "Madalena", "Dinorah, Dinorah", "O Tempo Me Guardou Voce" and a rocking "Ai, Ai, Ai, Ai, Ai". Five HUGE Stars!!
For new fans, Ivan is known outside of Brazil chiefly for a slew of his famous compositions which have attracted major artists, including the Grammy winning song "Velas" ('Sails'), which was beautifully recorded by Quincy Jones with Toots Thielemans; "Love Dance" (Lembranca) by Dianne Schurr and Vanessa Williams, "Before It's Too Late" (Antes Que Seja Tarde) by the Manhattan Transfer, "The Island" (Comecar de Novo) by Sarah Vaughn and Barbra Streisand, the huge Elis Regina hit "Madalena" which Ella Fitzgerald fell in love with and recorded, "She Walks This Earth" (Soberana Rosa) by Sting, and "Dinorah, Dinorah", which was recorded by jazz man George Benson and Elis Regina. Whew!!
(Note: "Guarde nos Olhos" and "Desesperar Jamais" (Never Despair) are not shown in the Track Listing, but they are on the CD as Track 2 and 5, respectively. The songs "Aos Nossos Filhos" (To Our Children") & "Cartomante" are merged on Track 6; "Vieste" (You Came) & "Iluminados" (Illuminated) are merged on Track 10. All of which yields 14 great tracks. Enjoy!)

It's hard to believe this CD/DVD sampler of the PBS broadcast live-music series, hosted by the ubiquitous pianist Ramsey Lewis, is the first nationally syndicated jazz show in four decades. Its variety--which spans from the Milesian, smooth-jazz trumpet of Chris Botti and the Latin jazz stylings of flutist Dave Valentin to the Brazilian brilliance of keyboardist/composer Ivan Lins--makes it well worth the wait. Part of this show's charm lies in its genius collaborations, including Al Jarreau and Kurt Elling doing the Dave Brubeck gem "Take Five" and alto saxophonists Phil Woods and Dave Sanborn's remake of Horace Silver's "Senor Blues." Chick Corea's solo keyboard take on "Armando's Rumba" brings forth his Spanish heart, and trumpeter Clark Terry steals the show with his funny scat-blues number "Mumbles." Lewis's florid performance of John Coltrane's "Dear Lord," shows why he's the host of this stupendous show. --Eugene Holley, Jr.Album Description

Jazzz CD and DVD.......2006-07-08
music A+ but the DVD format a bit lacking.......2006-06-14
caution. for jazz fan who is also into HDTV, the HD DVD is a problem. the disk box states as 16X9 HD but the image does not fill up a typical 16x9 HDTV screen like the original boardcast. rather the DVD produces the image in letter box format. this is disappointing/. so, if you expect to see a true DVD in HD format filling up your 16x9 HDTV screen, the DVD disk will not meet your needs. however, if this is the least of your concern, this is the DVD/CD set you must own.
note to producer. please release the ENTIRE program in box DVD/CD set and fix the 16x9 dvd format. i will love to own this. thanks.

Beautiful tropical breeze!.......2007-04-06
The album... AH, what`s there to say?! Beautiful, melodic samba with class of Ivan Lins in it and we all know what that means! It`s the feeling - not describable by words! :o))) Thanks Ivan!
Ivan still going on strong.......2007-03-12
However, going back to the CD, this is a very enjoyable/pleasent CD by Ivan (the second most-recorded composer from Brasil after Tom Jobim);still combining jazz-tinged tunes and exploring back some of his samba roots. Songs like "Passarela No Ar", "Ela E A Propria Vida" and "Renata Maria" are total knock-outs.
And as customery; check Ivan's list of guests for this great CD:
- Ivan Lins / Piano, Keyboards, Vocals, Compositions
- Teo Lima / Drums
- Armando Marcal / Percussions
- Jesse Sadoc / Flugelhorn
- Marco Brito / Keyboards
- Paulinho Moska / Vocals on "Ela E A Propria Vida"
- Ze Carlos / Guitars
- Gilson Peranzzetta / Strings Arrangements
- Guinga / Vocals and Guitar
and many more.........
*** If you see this CD come across; grab it at once since it's on limited circulation.
Acariocando-TEN stars.......2007-03-07
The proof is that whenever I play this CD at work, people always ask me what I'm listening to. The big problem is that nobody has any way to get their hands on a copy of this CD, short of flying to Brazil. It's not available on iTunes, and so far I haven't found a retail outlet carrying it. Sorry folks, I'm not about to let my copy out of my sight!!!

Ivan the Sublime!.......2005-03-06
Which brings me to Ivan Lins, a musician whom I have come to regard as a dear friend, notwithstanding the considerable disadvantage of never even having seen him perform live. Recently when some friends of mine suffered a terrible tragedy, I had this CD sent to them because of what I feel to be its transcendently life-affirming-without-being-saccharine quality.
O Melhor de Novo Tempo is a wonderful introduction to the work of an artist I regard with a reverence similar to that I feel for Tom Jobim. Like Tom he hasn't got a great voice, but he still manages to be a distinctive interpreter of his songs. And so far as I'm equipped to judge, he's a very fine keyboard player. But it is as a composer that he truly shines. He writes music that engages, deeply and on multiple levels, music that is sometimes joyful, sometimes wistful, but never less than heartfelt. In testament to which I can cite numerous jazz players of the highest stature who have worked with him or covered his material. (Including a highly recommended 1996 collaboration with Terence Blanchard, The Heart Speaks).
His composition Comecar de Novo is one of those works that truly puts the "dei" in "vox pop." Meaning no one, not even the composer, will ever manage the definitive treatment (though, on second thought, Simone's cover comes pretty close to deserving that accolade). Madalena is one of the best and most high-spirited (if you'll forgive the vulgarity) "blue ball" anthems this particular oft-rebuffed lover has ever heard. "Dinorah Dinorah" suggests the sort of woman that, like the source of that fugitive whiff of perfume in an empty hallway, you wish you might have encountered in person. And listening to Daquilo que eu sei, I'm simply happy to be alive.
The foregoing is not to slight any of the other songs in this collection. Nor any of the songs that appear on any of his other CDs, for one source of his considerable excellence is consistency. Maybe someone has heard a "mail-in" from Ivan Lins, but it wasn't me!
