Especially with the vocals. There is a collection nof songs that we are all familiar with, suc as “So Danco Samba” and “Samba De Uma Nota So” that are presented with Gilberto backed up by the bel canto vocal team of Filho, Badeco, Quaretera and Luiz Roberto delivering fervent readings. The vocal team then drops out for intimate moments with Gilberto and guitar on “Dolaice”, “Meditacao”, “Corcovado” and rarer pieces such as “Quero Ser Assim” before delving into “Ipanema”. There’s something hauntingly innocent about the whole event, with nary a hint of North American polish or influence. A trip back in time to another world.
