Description

As the title would indicate, Ana Caram carefully sidesteps Antonio Carlos Jobim's most overplayed songs here, going after some of the rarer material in his catalogue. Not all are totally unheralded; "Luiza" received many performances from the composer in his last years, and is just about the best-known number on the CD, while "Correnteza" and "Caminhos Cruzados" aren't far behind. Caram's clear, delicate voice is perfectly placed for the Jobim idiom — cool as an ocean breeze, ever so slightly off-pitch in the Brazilian tradition — and her guitar gently drives the tunes forward. Guitaristmore… Sergio Assad (of the Assad Duo) also contributes the arrangements, which are gorgeously subtle and spare, where a single cello, flute, soprano sax or oboe is often the only obbligato that Caram needs. Steve Sacks contributes his soprano sax in a style where the inevitable shadow of Getz hangs heavy. While many of these melodies don't leap out at you in the manner of Jobim's best-known songs, they are beautifully crafted and will probably reveal their treasures upon repeated listenings.
