13. Passarim - (bonus track)
Some time before this recording Jobim gathered it's own1 band for the first
time and called it Banda Nova. It included his son Paolo on guitar, Danilo
Caymmi on flute, Jacques Morelenbaum on cello, Paulo Braga on drums and
their wifes as back vocals. The result was a winning combinantion that
marked the last phase of Jobim's career. He remained recording and touring
with this band until the end of his life in December 1994. Increased awareness
of environmental problems are present in Passarim, Bebel
is yet another beautiful Jobim's bossa ballad, Luiza is somewhat
older but perhaps even more beautiful waltz, Gabriela comes from
Jobim's soundtrack for the film of the same name, Fascinatin' Rhythm
comes from George Gershwin and two of the songs were composed by Paolo.
As a bonus you get great version of Anos Dourados sung in Portuguese
by Chico Buarque and also Portuguese version of
Passarim.
All in all, an excellent album.
