Superb bossa nova

Eric C. | 07/17/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you enjoyed the Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum debut album -- sophisticated yet sparse playing genius boss nova classics -- you might like this even more. It hardly seems possible, but Paula Morlenbaum's voice is even better here because she frees herself up and cuts loose -- just as she can in concert.If you're a Sakamoto fan, this dose of ultra-authentic bossa nova might not be your usual fare. And note the guitar work of Luiz Brasil, who has been guitarist, arranger, and/or record producer for many great projects, including Caetano Veloso's Livro and Cassia Eller's MTV Acustico.And of course the other musical presence here is Tom Jobim himself, through his compositions, inspiration, and the ghost in his casa."

A wonderful birthday present.

"My sister sent me Morelenbaum & Sakamoto's "Casa" CD, and I was entranced. As an incurable romantic, and a long, long fan of Brazilian music in general, and Jobim in particular, I was transported back to the joy of 1st having heard Stan Getz and Antonio Carlos Jobim. From that moment on I was hooked. The trio of Jaques and Paula Morelenbaum, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, are as complimentary, and dreamy and romantic as Getz, Gilberto and Jobim were 30 years ago. I'd call "Casa" perfect, if it weren't for the final track. It just doesn't fit with the others. But, the rest is...magic."
