简介:  This rare album from singer or pianist Tania Maria, backed by bassist Helio and drummer Boto, documents that in the mid-'70s, the swinging samba-jazz interpreter was already developed even if still closely emulating Elis Regina. The album opens with the heavy pounding of "Samba de Orly" (Vinícius de Moraes or Chico Buarque de Hollanda), and the same atmosphere follows with a Jorge Ben medley, giving room to the lyrical "Ate Quem Sabe" (Lysias Enio or jao Donato). "Abre Alas" traces very closely Elis Regina's take. Another Ben classic, "Fio Maravilha" (which was written in homage to the celebrated soccer player Fio, from Botafogo, who later sued Ben for using his name, which is the reason why this song is currently interpreted as "Filho Maravilha") restores that heavy swing. "?guas de Mar?o" (Tom Jobim), in which a mild samba arrangement (as opposed to the usual bossa nova rendition) backs her interpretation, is profoundly indebted to Elis Regina. Another sensitive moment is brought by "N?o Tem Perd?o" (Ronaldo Monteiro de Souza or Ivan Lins), the vehicle for one of her solos coupling the piano with her voice. The album closes with a medley of "Nao Poe a Mao" (Pericles Simoes Mutt or Arno Canegal or B. Moreira), "Arrasta a Sandália" (Osvaldo Vasques or Aurélio Gomes), "Aquarela do Brasil" (Ary Barroso), the marchinha "Nega do Cabelo Duro" (Rubens Soares or David Nasser), "Maracangalha" (Dorival Caymmi), all transformed into a heavy samba. An appealing record for samba jazz and T?nia Maria fans.
