For the most part, this album is Rosa (vocals and acoustic guitar) with her core band (Helio Alves, piano; Paulo Paulelli, bass; Paulo Brago, drums; and Cyro Baptista, percussion). There’s also some very nice work on clarinet and sax from Paquito D’Rivera and Rodrigo Ursaia, respectively -- and a beautiful vocal duet with the great Henri Salvador.
The arrangements are simple and direct -- and beautifully performed, with style and feeling. The recording quality is absolutely first-rate as well -- the samples you can check out on-line are nice, but they don’t do justice to the crystalline sound on this album.
Track twelve is designated as a ’bonus track’ -- it was recorded about a year and a half before the rest of the album, and features a guest appearance by none other than Yo-yo Ma.
Three of the songs included here were recorded by the great master Joao Gilberto on his historic album of the same title in 1977 -- and as a further homage to his influence on her style (and his place in musical history), Rosa includes ’Essa e pr’o Joao’, her co-composition with Arnoldo Medeiros.
