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.

Thanks for the heads up!

Ryuichi Sakamoto doing Brazilian music? Are these older Bossa Nova tunes like those by Jobim or newer stuff?

I'll definitely look into it. Thanks!

On the same note, Gary Mulligan has a very good album named "Paradiso" on Telarc records. First rate

I just bought Casa, Day in New York, and Ryuichi Sakamoto's Film Music on Amazon.com. Heheh.

This is pretty old, but if you haven't heard Charlie Byrd's "Bossa Nova Pelos Passaros" it's a must have. It's been reissued as A K2 and sounds fabulous as well as having fabulous music.
