Here Nascimento strips his normally expansive resources way down and basically uses just his own voice and guitar, Herbie Hancock's acoustic piano and synthesized bass, and Naná Vasconcelos' percussion, with occasional self-overdubs and choral interjections. For strict jazz fans, then, this release has an unusually high quota of interest; Hancock -- who is in inspired, affectionate form throughout -- gets lots of solo space, and we hear more of Nascimento's own driving, idiosyncratic guitar than usual. The songs, in collaboration with Nascimento's perennial lyricist Fernando Brant and others, overflow with Nascimento's unquenchable life force, having never abandoned the peace-and-love core of the '60s. For openers, Nascimento delivers a touching note to actor River Phoenix well before the latter's tragically early death. There is also an hypnotic, revolving, vocalese version of "La Bamba," and he revisits earlier tunes like "San Vicente" and "Sock Ball, Marbles."

There’s something very beautiful that happens with music. It’s as if you are walking down the street looking at many different faces, and suddenly you feel strongly they have something in common with you.

Milton Nascimento is an absolute glorious monster, a perfect definition of awesome. To know his music is to know the world is smaller than we think but yet the world we create through living is large enough to hold everything, all our creations, all, everything we can do, can think to do, are able to do within the specifics of our circumstances and resources.

Milton demonstrates that all of the world can be contained in each of us even though we as individuals are but a small part of the whole.

I can sing in Portuguese and still communicate with people who don’t know the language. You can get your own feelings and images from the music, and when people do that, it makes me very happy. Every time I sing a song, it will have a different feeling for me, because the music changes as I change in my life. I work from the heart, and the heart speaks for itself.Some have called jazz a very cerebral music, others think of jazz as a music of intense emotionality. The beauty of jazz is that it is both.

For now, hear a man singing at the edge of his immense capabilities. Don’t worry about the lyrics, the language. Don’t bother trying to figure out how they are making those sounds. Don’t even try to count the beats or figure out the harmonies. Just feel with your ears.

Above all, hear his sound. His vibration. The range of his passions painting from a multicolored palette of human emotions. Clear melodies, complex but accessible harmonies and above all the rightness of his rhythms.

Contains “Don Quixote,” “Like Us (Feito Nos)” and “San Vicente”

This is absolute, without any doubt nor reservations the best album Milton cut in the USA. Inspired and Herbie Hancock out does himself. Absolute gorgeous (I’m repeating myself but really, it’s just that good.)! The basic band is all-star trio: Milton on vocals and guitar (you get to hear more of his guitar playing on this album than is usually presented), Brazil master percussionist Nana Vasconcelos (who also adds vocals to the mix), and Herbie Hancock on piano and synthesized bass. Drummer Robertinho Silva plays on two cuts and bassist Joao Baptista plays on one cut. There are also two choruses: an adult choir of six voices and a children’s chorus also containing six voices. Over twenty years after his 1967 debut, Milton delivers an amazing collection of music.

This Is A Gem.
