Free Music Notes for A Day in New York Album
Free Music Review: A Sophisticated Album
Hit: 5 Stars
The Morelenbaums, part of Tom Jobim's musical "family" have done an excellent job once again of proving that his music, some of it now almost 50 years old, is indeed timeless. Jobim's elegant and intricate melodies, combined with Vinícius de Moraes' poetic lyrics keep this music a strong statement of the seductive music Brasil has offered to the world. The brilliant addition of Ryuichi Sakamoto makes this group shine. Reading the liner notes, it would appear that this album was almost an afterthought to the tour-ending of the remarkable previous album by this group, "Casa". What a treat then that the recording was even made! "A Day In New York" is very similiar to "Casa" with a live feel to it and includes, in addition to the Jobim/de Moraes songs, one of João Gilberto's early, fun compositions *Bim Bom* and a haunting song *Coração Vagabundo* (Vagabond Heart) by the superb singer, songwriter etc., etc., Caetano Veloso, as well as a truly gorgeous new song composed, it seems, by the Morelenbaums, Sakamoto and T. Onuki called *Tango*. This song as well as all the others, is superbly sung by the beautiful voice of Paula Morelenbaum. No wonder Jobim wanted her to sing his melodies. She has the gift of being able to sing the "saudade" that is so prevelant in his music, perfectly, and has a crystal clear, sensual voice on these songs. The cello of Jaques Morelenbaum is, as always, achingly beautiful and the piano sound of Sakamoto is eerily like that of Jobim himself. The inclusion of the great guitarist, Luiz Brasil and Marcelo Costa at percussion puts this album over the top. My favorite song on the album? The heart-rending *Chora Coração* by Jobim and de Moraes. Jaques Morelenbaum says in the notes that it is "saddest song that could ever be composed". I would have to agree. Beautiful. This would make a wonderful companion album to "Casa". Here's hoping the Morelenbaums will continue to shine the Jobim light for many more years to come.
