O Paraiso finds founding members Teresa Salguiero (vocals) and Pedro Ayres Magalhaes (guitar), as well as guitarist Jose Peixoto, leading a new lineup of Madredeus, featuring bassist Fernando Judice and keyboardist Carlos Maria Trindade. The result isn't particularly different from the previous lineup, although the rhythms are a little looser than before. What matters, like it did before, is the emotional impact of the music, and how Salguiero's provocative voice blends into the ethereal instrumentals, which borrow freely from different world musics. It's not a perfect album, but it is a fascinating one, and that's more than enough to prove that Madredeus hasn't lost anything by switching rhythm sections. If anything, they have gained strength. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Although Derek Smith arrived in New York City in 1957 and has recorded and performed in a variety of settings in and out of jazz, the veteran pianist made relatively few record dates as a leader during his long career. That's one reason that this trio session for Arbors Jazz is so special. Joined by bassist Nicki Parrott and drummer Joe Ascione, Smith brings a freshness to such ...
| | Manhattan Transfer Vibrate CD (2004) SACD Hybrid
O Paraiso album
$15.19
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
With a title like Vibrate, it would seem that the Manhattan Transfer had filled their first studio disc in four years with jazzy and exciting vocal workouts intended to shake the speakers. But the title is a bit misleading as Vibrate is one of their most subdued and elegant recordings, and one that harks back to the days of Mecca for Moderns where pop tangents were part of their repertoire. With an arrangement that remains fairly intact from the Brenda Russell original, "Walkin' in New York" begins the disc with a summery sidewalk swagger that sets the relaxed tone of the disc. Two successful Rufus Wainwright covers follow as the Transfer take "Greek Song" globe-hopping through the Middle East via Hawaii and then spin down to Brazil for a beautiful tango-inspired version of "Vibrate." On past recordings they have covered contemporary pop with mixed results, often sounding staid or forced, as on 1983's Bodies and Souls, but the chamber pop of Wainwright is a perfect fit for their vocal style. The tribalistic experiment of "First Ascent" bristles with harmonies and rhythms from musical lands rarely tread upon while a remake of the Beach Boys' "Feel Flows" abandons the original's psychedelic pop for a more soulful arrangement. Oddly enough, as their pop tendencies flourish on Vibrate, their more typical jazz tracks tend to sound like misfits. "Doodlin'" and "Embraceable You" are immaculately performed but lack the personality and depth found in the disc's pinnacle moment, "The New JuJu Man (Tutu)." This stunning vocalese recitation of the infamous Miles Davis recording of Marcus Miller's "Tutu," with lyrics by Jon Hendricks, is one of the most incredible performances ...

O Paraiso music CDs
$15.19
Some might say that, to exist in a bizarre state of so-called "reality" and be an artist at the same time is a lesson in futility. Singer/Songwriter/Acoustic Guitarist Michael Shelton bridges this seemingly impossible gap by playing music that is insightful and emotional; gut-wrenching and inspiring. While growing up in Texas, Michael Shelton became heavily influenced by such diverse artists as U2, Leonard Cohen, the Cure, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Elvis Costello, and Barenaked Ladies, among others. Shelton's music is a delicate and passionate balance of acousti-pop themes, modern rock fortitude, and jazz phrasing. His musical performances are a captivating and passionate escape from monotony into a world where possibilities are endless, heartbreak is random, and the redemption found in the beauty around us is evident with every waking breath. Michael Shelton is no novice to the game of public-performance. He has played with such incredible worldwide acts as Grammy-nominated bassist and composer Michael Manring, Seth Horan (formerly of Vertical Horizon) and Rolling Stone indie artist of the year, Granian, just to name a few. Having played from California to Texas, Shelton's performances have been described as "Intoxicating, Energetic, Heartful and Soulful". As one fan elaborates, "I can feel Michael's music inside of me and it makes me smile; it keeps me coming back for more - He connects with his audience in a spiritual way." The venues that Shelton frequents are as elated as his fans. Says one such business owner, "Michael is the kind of person who is genuine in all he does and always makes our guests feel welcomed...Not only have his talents exceeded our expectations, but his gift of music infuses his audience with a perpetual swoon. He shines onstage through connections that he forges with our customers; he is genuine and we love sharing this experience with the people who come to see him on a continual ...
