Hard Bossa

Editorial Reviews

‘Blissfully sweet’

Product Description
Joyce's 'Hard Bossa' confirms her status as Brazil's finest samba jazz vocalist & since her early days when she came to national recognition through the festival scene, she has had a major international career. Her reputation is global and her music speaks volumes - without even understanding the vocals one can be led on a sensual journey.

On hearing 'Hard Bossa' for the first time, one is taken back to the heady days of samba jazz in the Seventies and Eighties, of glorious sun-kissed festivals along the beaches of Ipanema and a young girl armed with just a guitar and an immense vocal talent. The retrospective feel of the album has more to do with the timeless feel Joyce has created rather than any sense of nostalgia. In fact, leaving nostalgia aside allows her to produce a new vibrant album up there with her best recordings.

As is often the case with Far Out we have empowered the artist, leaving Joyce to make all the decisions on the production and the mixes. With the total freedom to express herself she has come up trumps and delivered a killer album.

Amazon.com

This 1995 tribute to the late Brazilian bossa nova master draws from the cream of the Verve/Polygram jazz catalog. Saxophonist Stan Getz, who introduced the sublimely sensual bossa nova to North American audiences in the early '60s, is joined by vocalist João Gilberto on the well-known title track and by guitarist Luiz Bonfa on the exquisite "O Morro Nao Tem Vez." Sarah Vaughan ("Corcovado"), Billy Eckstine ("Felicidade"), Wes Montgomery ("How Insensitive"), and Oscar Peterson ("Wave") also turn in classic performances from the '60s. Jobim himself offers guitar and piano accompaniment on several tracks and duets with Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina on "Aguas de Marco." Although subsequent generations of lame lounge singers have robbed bossa nova of its original mystique, in its pure form, this music is unsurpassed in conveying an intimately romantic mood with carefree sophistication. --Rick Mitchell

5 out of 5 stars Among the best.......2007-05-20

This CD is just another example of great Bossa Nova straight from brazil. Just like the other ones, it has some beautiful tunes; danceable, easy to the ears, romantic and very sensual. Would highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Bossa Nova.......2007-03-29

I like Bossa Nova, beautiful music, and I like all the cd's I have purchased


5 out of 5 stars Jobim "Mixing it Up".......2007-01-11

Excellent!! A great combination of different extremely talented world artists doing a diffent take on Jobim's music. If you love Jobim and want to "mix it up" this is a great selection.

5 out of 5 stars Love it!.......2007-01-09

Love this! It's part bossa nova, kind of jazzy. Takes me to a beach with white sands and clear blue water, exactly where I want to be at this time of the year.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing.......2006-09-06

I've had this cd for about 10 years now, and I've loved every minute of it again and again. Every song has its own beauty, in a very diverse way. The performance in "Chega de Saudade" is particularly riveting, each instrument delivering an absolutely perfect solo.

Also, not to be vulgar, but having sex to this album? A+++ would do again.

5 out of 5 stars Why Granz deserves his own jazz club in Heaven.......2003-03-06

For his tireless, effective, and classy promotion of first-rate musicians, Norma Granz must surely be one of the great cultural influences of our century, even if no one but jazz types know of him. More admirable (because courageous and selfless)is that he absolutely forbade racial segregation in his audiences and for his musicians. Granz was famous for making sure that ALL his musicians received first-class treatment, without distinction.

And what first-class music his people made! From the "Jazz at the Philharmonic" series to his long tenure with Verve (which he founded), Granz brought together the very, very best jazz musicians, under the best conditions, and let them play what moved them.

This collection is a fine, fine introduction to what Granz accomplished--and extraordinarily fun to hear.

If you're looking for a great intro to jazz, you could do worse than to start here. (For pedagogical purposes, Ken Burns' five-CD set, "The Story of America's Music," is more comprehensive, and it has much to commend it. Listening to that set, though, requires an interest in being educated, as much as an interest in listening to jazz--some of the discs are jarringly uneven in tone, mood, style, and sound quality.)

4 out of 5 stars 50 years of Jazz Bliss.......2001-01-23

What is jazz? Dixieland? Big-band? Kenny G? (Perish the thought!
Forgive me for such heresy!)

I write this review about halfway
through the stunning Ken Burns "Jazz" chronicle on PBS
(January 2001) - I felt compelled to get this set out for my
late-night listening, and am glad I did!

This 4-CD set contains
almost 5 hours of great jazz performances by the giants - Louis
Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz,
Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson... well, you can read the
list.

Sound quality is awesome, especially considering that some of
these recordings are over 50 years old. Verve obviously wanted this
to be a quality product, to commemmorate their golden anniversary.
And the performances - if you have NOT heard them before, you will be
alternately slack-jawed with amazement and grinnin' like a possum
eatin' a sweet potato!

Jazz aficionados will probably already have
most of this material - none of it is new or unissued, all of it is
classic jazz. If you're like me - you've had some exposure to jazz
and want to add some good stuff to your collection - you can't go
wrong with this set. If you get picked to be on Survivor Island, you
just might want to take it with you... I would!

5 out of 5 stars SPECTACULAR!.......1999-11-04

the best compilation of jazz music ever! this is a must for all music lover and you'll know after you've listened

5 out of 5 stars THIS IS A MUST FOR YOUR COLLECTION.......1999-06-07

I scored this at a used "rock&roll shop for 20 bucks. Little did they no the value. This is totally awesome. The best part is the "assortedness" of it. I was leary of sound quality, but it is very good. The version of Dizzy's "Manteca" is almost worth the price. The only person missing is Kenton, but as we know, he wasn't a verve man. BUy it, its worth it.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful introduction to Jazz for the unititiated.......1998-12-31

I spotted this album in a friend's jazz collection. It has become a favorite of mine. Its perfect to give as a gift. Great listening, and a wonderful intro to Jazz.

4 out of 5 stars "What A Diff'rence A Day Made . . . And The Diff'rence Is You".......2007-03-31

If you want to listen to a huge variety of jazz icons all together in one CD, then you're in for a delight with this outstanding compilation CD. Most of the famous jazz giants are represented here - from the majestic royalties Count Basie and Duke Ellington to the original divas Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday, and not to mention Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Chick Corea, Erroll Garner, Dizzy Gillespie and Wes Montgomery.

Louis Armstrong opens up with Cole Porter's "Just One of Those Things" and invites you for a "trip to the moon on gossamer wings." Sarah Vaughan presents her tantalizing vocals in "Lullaby of Birdland" and shows off her versatility in scat singing. Stan Getz performs a Bossa Nova staple "The Girl From Ipanema" with vocals from the husband-and-wife team of João and Astrud Gilberto.

Bill Evans contributes his delicate touch on the ivories as he plays "Here's That Rainy Day." Every tune that Mr. Evans plays becomes a beautiful masterpiece. Erroll Garner plays his signature composition "Misty" with an enchanting arrangement making it one of the best tracks. Count Basie wraps up this presentation with a beautiful tune that takes you back to the fifties, "April In Paris," a composition by Vernon Duke and Yip Harburg.

The First Lady of Song Ella Fitzgerald does a swinging Rodgers & Hart song, "Everything I've Got" while Dinah Washington sings another beautiful version of Maria Grover and Stanley Adams' "What A Diff'rence A Day Made" (the other fabulous version is found in Diana Ross' charming album, Blue).

"What a diff'rence a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today, I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are thru, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a diff'rence a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss

That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a diff'rence a day made
And the diff'rence is . . . you."

With this CD, there is something wonderful to unfold if you're a fan of any of these jazz greats. If you're a fan of all of them, then so much the better. It's very rare to find an incredible collection such as this. It's a rare find . . . so check this out and enjoy!

Wholeheartedly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!!.......2002-07-16

Actually I would have content buying this CD if only one of the songs were on it - Wes Montgomery ... mmm, good!

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful collection.......2000-12-12

This is the perfect cd, not only for people wanting to get into jazz but for jazz lovers in general, who like a bit of variety. Here you have vocal as well as instrumental songs. There are a lot (16) of the BIG names, Louis, Oscar, Dizzy, Sarah, Duke, Chick, Ella, Wes, Nina, Charlie, Bill, Dinah, Stan, Erroll, Billie and Count; none of whom need to have their surnames added. Every song on this disc rates 10 stars. How could it not? Highly recommended.

3 out of 5 stars Georgia on My Mind.......2000-07-20

When I was married and living in Georgia, my wife bought this CD, and when she became my ex-wife, I moved to Ohio and left it with her. I miss it, and now I'm buying it, because it's got some really neat stuff on here -- without buying every single CD in the set (for example, my ex thought the Chick Corea cut, "Captain Marvel" was really cool, then bought more of his stuff and didn't like it (no accounting for taste)). As a music teacher, this is a handy CD to have around because it has a bunch of different styles on one disc; from Satchmo to Fusion and back. Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Twist This Open & Hit Play!.......2004-07-24

When I 1st bought this CD in '98, I was unaware that it would impact my children's memories of laughter, love of music and special moments together. Now when my kids hear jazz, they ask - where's the 'Waters of March' or 'Girl from Ipanema?' and so on. I hope you'll be as impressed with this compilation as me & my family are. All of the artists have truly dedicated their super-star talents to honor Jobim, and rightly so. Enjoy & Ciao!

5 out of 5 stars A Twist of "Just Great".......2004-01-22

I really enjoyed the interpretations of Al Jarreau and Oleta Adams on this CD of the great music of Jobim. Girl from Ipanema, one of my all time favorites did not disappoint. ...and Waters of March is superb! You're gonna LOVE IT!

    Amazon.com

    Reaching deep into its cavernous vaults, Verve has extracted a rich bountiful of moody and sentimental jazz, perfect for those long, expectant evenings or those equally long, rain-filled days. Nicely packaged with nostalgic, sepia-toned photographs on both the box and each individual CD, A Jazz Romance contains nearly 60 songs guaranteed to set a distinctly low- keyed mood, equal parts sultry and sad. The vast majority of the material is from bygone days of the '40s and '50s, with the more recent entries retaining that flavor. The four discs are entitled In Dreams, Ever, Believing, and Always. They're rather interchangeable, sharing many of the same artists and each having as many vocals as instrumentals, yet each does have some distinction from the others.

    In Dreams features the great saxophones of Johnny Hodges on "The Last Time I Saw Paris" and Ben Webster on "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning." Ever has marvelous versions of "My Man" by Sarah Vaughn and "The Shadow of Your Smile" by Dexter Gordon. Believing contains a contemporaneous version of "Some Other Time" by guitarist Mark Whitfield and Diana Krall, along with an outstanding example of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's versatility on "Alfie." Always, perhaps the dreamiest of the lot, has Chet Baker on "Alone Together," Illinois Jacquet on "Star Dust," and Stan Getz doing "Thanks for the Memories." Concentrating exclusively on the romantic side of jazz, this compilation contains an abundance of subtle, emotional music offering great listening in addition to setting the all-important mood. --Wally Shoup

    4 out of 5 stars An absolutely stunning collection.......2002-12-10

    Ballads, I believe, are the real test of musicianship. And this collection has a judicious and delicious selection which is perhaps the best balanced one I know featuring the all time great moments - Clifford Brown's treatment of Rodgers and Harts Where or When will bring tears to your eyes - as well as quirky less known works - If the Moon Turns Green sung by Billy Holiday - the "old", Ben Webster, along with the "new" Mark Whitfield. Please don't think this is or should be "background" music. You only have to listen to Bill Evans playing with Paul Motian and Gary Peacock on CD1 to realise this is a collection of some of the greatest moments in 20th Century music, regardless of genre.

    4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2002-02-22

    This selection contains a bunch of great cuts and a few that I could live without, especially the Blossom Dearie tracks. However, as opposed to most collections with weak tracks, this one flows along so well that it is a pleasure to put all four CDS on and let it play in the background on a quiet evening "In." I prefer the companion 4 CD set called "A Night Out with Verve." I would recommend "Out" over "In."

    5 out of 5 stars Jazz novice opinion.......2002-02-11

    I am a complete novice when it comes to Jazz. Don't know much about it except that I enjoy it. I have to say this set of CD's is a great mood-setter. Definitely softens the atmosphere and relaxes the body and soul. Great music for a night of serenity and romance

    5 out of 5 stars Terrific Sampling of Wonderful Performances.......2001-12-28

    I put this cd set on my Amazon wishlist, and was very pleased to get it as a gift from my lover. All the old familiar songs, together with songs that I think I remember from my childhood, transport me to space where romance and sentmentality feel like comfortable old wool sweater. Think I'll just sit back... sip some good hot coffee..and hope the boyfriend joins me on the couch

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Follow-up to 'A Night Out with Verve' box.......2001-12-19

    Beautiful. Billie Holiday blends seamlessly into Dinah Washington into Johnny Hodges into... this four box is the perfect background atmosphere for your swank cocktail party or that evening of candlelight romance. The compilers have collected a remarkable selection of music from classic Verve jazz heavyweights like Elle and Louie, Sarah Vaughan, Clifford Brown, Coleman Hawkins to, surprisingly, a few lesser known French artists such as Michael Legrand (who wrote the score for the French film 'Les Parapluies De Cherbourg') and Laura Fygi. This is a highly recommended classic jazz collection that will beautifully compliment your romantic evening in and will fit nicely into any classic jazz lovers music collection.

    5 out of 5 stars delightul music.......2006-08-10

    this cd brings forth an amazing selection of a tremendous composer by some of the best interpreters of our era. by all means a must

    5 out of 5 stars A Star-Studded Affair.......2002-08-30

    This is a wonderful album for fans of both bossa nova and straight-up jazz. Wonderful renditions of many of A.C.Jobim's most beautiful songs, with Jobim himself popping up on a few tracks.

    If I were to list every brilliant track on the album, I'd honestly just be listing the entire track list. From Getz' lyrical "Corcovado", to Diz's clever "One Note Samba", to Sarah Vaughan's playful "Boy From Ipanema"--all classic, wonderful songs by some of the most famous jazz artists of all time. Although I had heard most of these songs elsewhere, it was wonderful to hear Oscar Peterson's "Triste". The song begins with a trademark Peterson off-beat intro in unison, then quickly settling into an amazing groove.

    The bottom line? A great and varied selection, encompassing a wide variety of moods, emotions, styles, tempos, and musicians! Pick up a copy soon!

    Also HIGHLY recommended: the Getz/Gilberto album, and "Jazz Samba" with Getz/Charlie Byrd. Both are some of the most (deservedly) classic jazz albums you can find.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Companion Piece.......2000-08-09

    This is a companion piece CD to The Girl From Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook. I believe, that is. It is a very nice CD but as the previous writer stated, it more than anything points out the brilliance of Jobim's songwriting. The tracks selection is excellent and the perfomers are great. Hearing Elis Regina's voice in all of her feautred songs makes you wish she could still share that magical voice with you. Great CD. Pick it up to go along with the other one.

    4 out of 5 stars Great artists play Jobim.......2000-07-06

    This was my first introduction to Brazilian music, notably because of the recognizable artists playing Jobim like Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie and Oscar Peterson(to name a few). However, what struck me the most was the great songwriting talents of Jobim and the understated, yet passionate vocals of Elis Regina. Hearing Elis sing 'Wave' is simply beautiful, and listening to 'Corcavado' transported me to another world. This is simply a great CD.

      4 out of 5 stars Late night Bird?.......2007-01-26

      There is an implied mellow or introspective mood with an album called LATE NIGHT JAZZ. Such dreamy feelings are well-established on this collection until Charlie Parker jars us from our reveries and gets the cops banging on the door with his blaring and raucous rendition of "Night And Day." This jolt halfway through the set is enough to give a ferret insomnia!

      Except for that one misstep (and a quick poke-in-the-ribs crescendo on "Body And Soul"), LATE NIGHT JAZZ consistently delivers perfect wee small hours music, as performed by some of the best names in mid-20th century jazz. Transfer quality here is top notch-- songs are full-length. No liner notes beyond a playlist.

      TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 57:12

      5 out of 5 stars For Jazz Fans.......2005-06-02

      This is a collection taken from the vaults of the Verve and Mercury labels, featuring easy listening jazz from the 1940s to the 1960s. It has 12 cuts starting with "Night Train," and ending with "Autumn Leaves." It includes Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, Wes Montgomery, Gerry Mulligan, and other artists. Total playing time is not given.
