Ryuichi Sakamoto -- Casa -- August 20
Come back soon to hear the Bossa Nova of legendary Brazilian
composer Tom Jobim (&GIRL FROM IMPANEMA&) as played
by Sakamoto and friends. An unforgettably sultry album that
recalls the work of Getz and Gilberto. Expect heavy rotation.
Sakamoto on Casa:
"The work this time was to record the music of Jobim
on the very piano Jobim had in his home, with the
Morelenbaums, the couple who had made music with Jobim
for 15 years when he was alive. Paolo Jobim, Jobim's
eldest son, added his violao on two tracks. Jobim's spirit sighed
here and there in the house."
