EST - Strange Place for Snow

In my view one of the best albums of recent years.

Che.

I'm pretty much out of touch with what has been produced since the turn of the century, so I can't say if I agree with you about it being one of the best of the recent issues, but I like this. I'm going to put it in my car, where I can listen to it more closely.

Allan, Paula is a Brazilian singer who is a veteran of the music scene enjoying a contemporary upsurge of interest due to the collaborations she, Ryko Sakamoto, and Paulo Jobim have made in the last four years or so.

With her husband Jacques (cellist and arranger and composer) she worked with Jobim in his final decade or so, in his wonderful "banda nova". . . I really love these recordings and she makes solid contributions.

I really like her voice, and her "presence" . . . . This one seems to be a bit of a departure in that she is using synths and drum machines and scratchin' record apparently as a backdrop/accompaniment at least in part. Her hubby Jacques seems to be involved, which is a PLUS.

Sergio Mendes' Favorite Things

This was recorded to fulfill his Atlantic contract while he was touring the country with Brasil '66, which recorded for A&M.

Although it has a little more jazz than Brasil '66, it's still a pop (what we would today call "lounge") album rather than a jazz album. It's relaxing and enjoyable, but not at all essential, regardless of its category.
