Oscar Castro-Neves has been one of the most important Brazilian musicians on the jazz scene for some time. His skills as a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and arranger are all on display in this release. Starting with a swinging instrumental setting of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Double Rainbow," which incorporates Charlie Bisharat's Gypsy-like violin, Gary Meek's multiple reeds, and pianist Don Grusin, Castro-Neves signals that this is not going to be a predictable release. His compositions include the funky, strutting "All One" and the infectious "Holding with an Open Hand." The surprising rendition of "'Round Midnight" begins dramatically, then suddenly turns into a lively upbeat bossa nova. Equally compelling are his arrangements of standards like "The Very Thought of You" and "There Will Never Be Another You," both of which feature his warm, friendly vocals. The only disappointment is the inclusion of smooth jazzer Michael Franks' lightweight, monotonous "One Bad Habit" to close an otherwise flawless CD. ~ Ken Dryden

Liner Note Author: Gretchen Carhartt.

Down Beat (p.61) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "On ALL ONE he applies a comforting light-blue tint to jazz and pop tunes, a stunning Chopin prelude and some infectious originals."
JazzTimes (p.108) - "Castro-Neves has his way with 'Naima,' turning that revered Coltrane anthem into a slick, upbeat samba romp underscored by hip-hop and Afro-Cuban rhythms."
Global Rhythm (Publication) (p.45) - "Castro-Neves pays tribute to the masters by offering his own nuanced take on John Coltrane's 'Naima' and Thelonious Monk's 'Round Midnight'..."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A Great Career
For many years I've been admiring the style and craftsmanship of Oscar Castro-Neves. Among the most notable credits are: a fanciful accompaniment with the guitar, singing, composing, playing the piano, making interesting arrangements and working with several bands and orchestras as a leader or a sideman. Oscar is still getting better and growing as a musician and producer. The CD is filled with exciting arrangements of songs with great variety.

Oscar Castro-Neves Playful Heart CD  (2003)

All One album
CD $14.59  5 stars Audio Samples
The beloved Brazilian guitar legend's resumé is so chock-full of varied musical experiences -- jazz, pop, film scoring, ten years with Sergio Mendes -- that his brilliant solo efforts can't help but include informal homages to different eras of his life. He starts out here getting straight to the heart of the matter, paying tribute to his fellow countryman Antonio Carlos Jobim with a self-contained plucky guitar/vocal duet of "Waters of March," ...

Creatively, David Benoit has had his ups and downs over the years. The pianist/keyboardist has recorded more than his share of forgettable smooth jazz albums, but he has also provided some decent straight-ahead discs that were greatly influenced by Bill Evans (the pianist, not the saxophonist). This 2004 release, however, doesn't fall into either category ...

Universal Language
Marc Antoine Universal Language CD  (2000)

All One CD music
CD $12.49  Audio Samples
This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Marc Antoine must have worried when he told his label, GRP, that he wanted to call his new recording Universal Language. (It seems he used the same name for one of the cuts on his debut album Classical Soul.) But one listen to the vast cultural landscape he covers musically and his varied approaches to the acoustic guitar, and it's clearly the perfect title, regardless. While Antoine has been self-produced up till now, this time he has help tackling all the complex global rhythms. On his own recordings, Phillippe Saisse has a tendency to let too many textures get in the way of great communication, but here, he fortunately has not taken away Antoine's penchant for floating lyrical melodies over thick hip-hop grooves; rather he enhances that attractive combination with unusual percussion combinations, clever synth sounds, and occasional horn flavorings and spacey sounds. "Palm Strings" begins with Antoine playing a dreamy flamenco melody over a bouncy, echoing synth line and a mix of a shuffling scratchy groove and more exotic percussion sounds. Flutist Dave Valentin blends beautifully with ...
