Description

"One of the most gifted bossa nova singers and guitarists to have come along in the style's 50-year life," pronounced the New York Times on hearing Brazil's Rosa Passos, whose spare, sinuous, and smoldering style is reminiscent of the late jazz great Shirley Horn. Her song choices range from classics by Antônio Carlos Jobim ("Por Causa de Você," "Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar") to songs by Djavan ("Alibi"), Ivan Lins ("Doce Presenca"), and João Donato ("Cadê Você"). "As an antidote to the finger-snapping screamers and belters who populate the female jazz vocal sector, Brazilian star Passos is perfect: her style is so underplayed that she sometimes appears to be doing little more than breathing…. This very jazzy recording with her Brazilian small group on 12 slow and sad bossa novas is so intense that there's almost an air of prayer involved. There's perhaps a nod to smooth jazz, but the sound—mixed by Al Schmitt at Capitol Records—is sublime."—The Independent
