Only Bebel Gilberto's third album in seven years, MOMENTO is an ideal fusion of the bossa nova sound popularized by her father, Joao Gilberto, with cool dancefloor electronica and sweet pop melodies. In contrast to the trance-like, downtempo sound of her debut album, TANTO TEMPO, and the more overtly Brazilian vibe of 2004's BEBEL GILBERTO, MOMENTO balances those two sides of Gilberto's musical personality and adds a previously hidden knack for catchy pop tunes. The overall effect of the chilly electronic beats, mellow acoustic guitars, and Gilberto's warm, inviting vocals (with lyrics in both Portuguese and English) is strongly reminiscent of the British duo Everything But the Girl, especially on Gilberto's overtly bossa nova-inspired take on Cole Porter's "Night and Day," which takes some cues from the duo's extremely similar arrangement of the tune. Another highlight is the pulsing dance-pop of "Bring Back the Love," which has the epic sweep of an early disco hit, thanks to guest stars the Brazilian Girls. Musically wide-ranging and uniformly memorable, MOMENTO is Bebel Gilberto's finest album yet.CMJ (p.5) - "The album fuses bossa nova and samba with languid guitar lines to create a warm and hypnotic atmosphere."
Down Beat (p.70) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "MOMENTO offers magic and mystery, expressed in the album's blurring of acoustic/electronic textures, and in the twilight urban mood that permeates every track."
JazzTimes (p.113) - "Bebel's breathy dreaminess recalls the misty Astrud, but the Gilberto progeny explores wider musical horizons. Hers is a distinctly more pop-jazz sound..."
Dirty Linen (p.74) - "[A] drifting cruise across sea and foam to an enchanted island of tranquility and undulating soft rhythms..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he fieriest, most obviously Brazilian efforts -- 'Tranquilo' and 'Cacada', with its forro drums and flutes -- are the stand-outs."

4 stars Great Music
The music, the voice and the rithm are great. I really liked this CD. If you like Astrud Gilberto you must have Bebel´s CD. Mellow, nice voice with the touch of modern music.

Bebel Gilberto Tanto Tempo CD  (2000)

Momento
CD $13.99  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Bebel Gilberto was nominated for the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist. TANTO TEMPO was nominated for the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best Musica Popular Brasileira Album. Bebel Gilberto is the daughter of Brazilian singer/guitarist Joao Gilberto. TANTO TEMPO, her debut release, brings a contemporary sheen to classic bossa novas. Acoustic accompaniment predominates, with the addition of occasional electronica, making this collection a perfect reflection of the late-20th century two-way street between traditional Brazilian bossa nova and the American producers who covet its easy, sexy sound. Gilberto's voice is assured and steady. As with other South American singers gaining attention in the States, such as Peru's Susana Baca, she's a model of restrained passion, her phrasing subtly and sensuously caressing her music. Gilberto sings mostly in Portuguese, but performs a few songs in English, such as the dreamy "August Day Song." "Lonely" finds her paired with Washington D.C. downtempo producers Thievery ...

Bebel Gilberto CD  (2004)

Momento
CD $13.79  5 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
For her second studio album, Bebel Gilberto largely forgoes the electronic tinges of TANTO TIEMPO, in favor of a more straight-ahead bossa nova sound that often evokes the music of her father, the legendary vocalist/guitarist Joao Gilberto. On the breezy opener, "Baby," Gilberto lovingly adopts some of the vocal mannerisms of the song's writer, the renowned Brazilian troubadour Caetano Veloso, while gentle acoustic guitar guides the tune along. The majority of these songs, however, are penned (at least in part) by Gilberto herself. "Simplesmente" casts a dreamy keyboard-laden spell, while "O Caminho" is a melancholy, piano-driven number. Throughout the album, the focus remains on Gilberto's gorgeously smooth voice as she sings in both Portugese and English. BEBEL GILBERTO finds the vocalist easing even more comfortably into her family's musical heritage, and the result is a relaxed, confident set of songs. Personnel: ...

The concepts of musical multiculturalism and postmodern synthesis were paid a lot of lip service in the early 21st century, but it took an album like CeU's self-titled debut to give the terms true meaning. Finding itself at the intersection of traditional Brazilian forms and urban contemporary attitude, CeU's music is a seductive aural melting pot that plays like the ...

A large-ish ensemble led by pianist Thomas Lauderdale and singer China Forbes, Pink Martini is maddeningly, wonderfully eclectic in a way that few other groups could hope to be. Drawing from Parisian pop, jazz, the European cabaret tradition, Latin rhythms, and pre-1960 Hollywood film soundtracks, all combined with urbanity and elan, this Martini will leave the listener both shaken and stirred. A fab bonus: Jimmy Scott, the legendary and unique jazz vocalist, appears on "Tea For Two." Pink Martini: China Forbes (vocals); Robert Taylor (trombone); Thomas ...

Chaka Khan Funk This CD  (2007)

Momento
CD $12.09  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Chaka Khan is no stranger to reinvention. Initially known as the singer for 1970s funkateers Rufus, she went on to become a solo star, and in the '80s she enjoyed a career resurgence via the hip-hop-inflected smash "I Feel For You." In the late '90s, there was yet another chapter to the Chaka story, with an album masterminded by Prince. FUNK THIS, her first album of original material since that Prince platter, actually follows an album of jazz standards, but as the title implies it brings Khan back home to R&B. The production feels up-to-date without resorting to contemporary tropes, and still bears touches of the '70s and '80s. Alongside percolating new tunes, she reinterprets Prince's "Sign ...

Herbie Hancock River: The Joni Letters CD  (2007)

Momento
CD $10.99  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Any doubts about the incongruity of jazz icon Herbie Hancock covering singer-songwriter extraordinare Joni Mitchell will be obliterated on the first journey through RIVER: THE JONI LETTERS. For starters, the premise is not especially incongruous. Hancock has had a long, adventurous career in which he's traversed genres and masterfully blended styles, while Mitchell has always been deeply influenced by jazz as both a composer and a singer. RIVER features many of Mitchell's finest songs, stunning in their own right and reinterpreted beautifully by Hancock, plus a stellar assortment of musicians and guest vocalists. Mitchell's pop and folk tendencies have been assimilated into the arrangements; the album plays like a vocal jazz outing. Hancock is joined by fellow ...
New Boss Guitar Of George Benson
New Boss Guitar Of George Benson CD  (1964)

Momento
CD $10.49  5 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Digially remastered by Phil De Lancie (1990, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley). On this 1964 Prestige solo debut by George Benson, the revered guitarist enlists the support of his mentor, organ legend Jack McDuff, for a set of vintage soul jazz. Benson, only 21 years old at the time of the recording, clearly reveals the influences of Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian in his dexterous playing. Even at this early stage, however, the young six-stringer displays a lyricism that's all his own, as best revealed on the groove-laden "Sweet Alice ...

2008 release, one of the first stereo albums ever recorded by the Lionel Hampton Orchestra featuring bonus tracks. The outstanding album presented here showcases his breathtaking skills during the early days of Stereophonic recordings. Titled Hamp's Big Band, the LP contains a Big Band session in which the master can be heard alternating between vibes, piano and drums. He even sings on some tracks! Although the track 'Blue Lou' was recorded during the Hamp's Big Band sessions, it didn't appear on the original LP configuration despite being mentioned in the album's original liner ...

Stephanie Delk Burning Bright CD  (2008)

Momento
CD $10.15
Delk’s career began early, with impromptu concerts offered in the shower during childhood. Not far from there, it was a journey to the east coast and a Bachelor of Music degree earned at the esteemed Berklee College of Music. There, she picked up a guitar and traveled the range of styles from jazz to country until she found the voice you’ll hear pouring from her onstage today in folk/rock waves of intelligence and heartbreak. With influences found in Patty Griffin, Jonatha Brooke and other strong, lyrically intense and harmonically simple artists, her songwriting and full bodied voice have grown into a style all her own. Delk has appeared on numerous recordings as both lead and background vocalist, has toured with cover bands and pop stars, and currently spends her time in the studio and touring Austin, Texas, which she now calls home. In 2008, Delk released, “Burning Bright” a 5 track EP of her original works that paints a portrait of the artist evolving. From the relentlessly catchy opening track “Stay” to the bittersweet singsong of “Peter Pan” ...
