John Pizzarelli "Bossa Nova" Album Review

best Americanized Bossa Nova I've heard
I liked John Pizzarelli and bossa nova before I found out about this album, so buying it was a natural choice for me. Brazilian music is some of the most beautiful made in the world, and Pizzarelli respects that tradition while blending it with his unique style. If you're a fan of bossa nova looking for something new, or a jazz listener in need of a mostly lighthearted summery album, pick this up.

Favorite track - Waters of March, a classic Brazilian bossa nova done with a good translation.

Video desafinado (antonio carlos jobim cover)

gave it a go after a bowl and a few cocktails. the first time i heard this song, john pizzarelli was playing a bossa set. introduced me to a lot of great songs...it was a great set. think ray kennedy was on the keys, his brother on bass, and jobim's grandson(great?) sang on a few songs. after the show i got to meet john, (my stepdad/mentor took me to the show, new his pa or sommit like that), and i commented on the pink polkadotted tie he was wearing. i was in highschool at the time, and i think he thought i was taking the mick. he signed my cd, glad you liked the tie.

Ben Tankard "Piano Prophet" Album Review

Consistent Ben Tankard
If your a Ben Tankard then I think this album would rate as a 5 star as he is consistent in the quality of his music. He has some great tunes on here and I love Shirley Murdoch's version of he Commodore's Jesus is Love. The version of Ain't No Stopping Us Now to me lacks something that I can only describe as "drive". The tune is good but just doesn't have the urgency that says "ain't no stopping us now". Still it's quite a good version and that is just a personal opinion.

It is a very laid back album (as are all of Ben's albums) but this for me is one of the best he's done.
