Coisas
More Info
"For Santos, bossa nova and samba had become folk music because of their popularity, expressions of previous history that needed to be transferred outward. But to do this so elegantly on a first recording is not only remarkable, it is profound. Go no further than the first track, "Coisa No. 4," followed by the brilliant and lyrical bossa in "Coisa No. 10." The blues feeling in "Coisa No. 2" is dressed with an Ellingtonian sense of harmony. "Coisa No. 6," with its samba rhythms meeting post-bop jazz, is gorgeous. The choro drama drawn out by the presence of cellos and rounded brass is simply exquisite."
"Hardcore aficionados of Brazilian music and fans of its lighter side (so prominent in the mid-'60s) as well as fans of sophisticated jazz will all find this gem - overlooked by most outside of its native country, where it is hailed (rightly) as Santos' masterpiece - to be completely irresistible." - Thom Jurek, Allmusic
