Elis

Elis Regina, a cool, feminine Brazilian singer who died tragically of cocaine/alcohol poisoning at age 36, made this often deeply affecting album with Jobim in Los Angeles for the Brazilian market only; it was not released in the U.S. until 1989. While there is plenty of bossa nova here, the arrangements at times reflect the more cinematic, more inward directions that Jobim's music was taking, and the lyrics often speak even more harrowingly of heartbreak than ever. Yet this pair can also celebrate Jobim's music, as they do in a rendition of 'Aguas de Marco' that nearly collapses in unself-conscious laughter. Throughout, Regina is in the spotlight, with Jobim a supporting, sometimes invisible, always pervasive presence.

'Elis & Tom' album about:

A classic 1974 recording, ELIS AND TOM brings together the brilliant Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina and the father of bossa nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Although Elis was a guest singer on some of Jobim's Creed Taylor-produced material, this was the first and only time the pair did a full-fledged duet album. Like the Taylor albums, WAVE and TIDE, ELIS AND TOM features a full orchestra. Very much unlike the Taylor albums, the orchestral coloring is kept to a bare, sensible minimum. Regina, who many feel was the finest female Brazilian jazz singer ever, works best in a sparse environment, and Jobim wisely tailors his arrangements to her strengths. The results are a sublime song cycle of material both old and new combining to create an overwhelming mood of melancholy. This is not saudade, the happy-sad feeling endemic to most bossa nova, but a darker and even more emotionally complex mood. The beauty of Regina's singing and Jobim's songs is lapidary, but some might find the record's tone a bit much to take in a single sitting.
