The Morelenbaums, who cofounded Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum, both worked with the maestro, and almost all of the tracks here were recorded in Jobim's Rio home. The CD contains fluid and florid renditions of bossa nova-era classics from the Jobim canon, from \"Amor em Paz\"--with Jobim's son Paulo on guitar--and \"Bonita\" to \"Vivo Sonhando.\" It also unveils rare songs like \"Chanson pour Michelle,\" a short and sweet composition written for a soap opera, and a never-before-heard work, \"Tema para Ana,\" an intimate piano\/cello duet. Sakamoto's spare and splendid pianos ring from Jobim's piano. Morelenbaum's singing cello tones complement his wife's angelic Portuguese and English vocals. Together this talented trio--with occasional accompaniment by percussionist Marcos Suzano, guitarist Luiz Brasil, vocalist Ed Motta, and bassist Zeca Assumpçao--beautifully exposes the French influences of Satie, Ravel, and Chopin in Jobim's music. --Eugene Holley, Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 696998998223\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0696998998223\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43852731744515,"sku":"1G-Z6UN-8C6H","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51Ow-ZJoAML.jpg?v=1680531187","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/casa","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
