For those of you that love Brazilian music...

... try Morelenbaum/Sakamoto: Casa, on Sony. They're a trio; Paula Morelenbaum is the vocalist. She has absolutely the sweetest voice I've ever heard. Her husband Jaques Morelenbaum is a wonderful violinist, and Ryuichi Sakamoto is a very prominent pianist. Together, they make some of the most hypnotic music I've ever heard.

Sakamoto and the Morelenbaums recorded "Casa: Tribute To Jobim" in Jobim's house, on Jobim's piano. They later expanded the idea to include Joao Gilberto and others of the ilk on "Day In New York".

For a contemporary, equally tasty slice of Brazil try Vinicius Cantuaria.

Dennisb,

I received Casa and have been playing it almost continuously since. I totally agree with Dearings assessment of this CD. Just fantastic in all regards. I had no idea Sakamoto could play the piano with such touch and emotion.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful discovery!
