Aguas De Marco by Antônio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina

Artist Biography For Antônio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina

A Classic 1974 Recording "Elis & Tom" Brings Together The Brilliant Brazilian Vocalist Elis Regina And The Father Of Bossa Nova Antônio Carlos Jobim. Although Elis Was A Guest Singer On Some Of Jobim’s Creed Taylor-Produced Material This Was The First And Only Time The Pair Did A Full-Fledged Duet Album. Like The Taylor Albums "Wave" And "Tide" "Elis & Tom" Features A Full Orchestra. Very Much Unlike The Taylor Albums The Orchestral Colouring Is Kept To A Bare Sensible Minimum. Regina Who Many Feel Was The Finest Female Brazilian Jazz Singer Ever Works Best In A Sparse Environment And Jobim Wisely Tailors His Arrangements To Her Strengths. The Results Are A Sublime Song Cycle Of Material Both Old And New Combining To Create An Overwhelming Mood Of Melancholy. This Is Not Saudade The Happy-Sad Feeling Endemic To Most Bossa Nova But A Darker And Even More Emotionally Complex Mood.The Beauty Of Regina’s Singing And Jobim’s Songs Is Lapidary But Some Might Find The Record’s Tone A Bit Much To Take In A Single Sitting.
