'a fleeting glance can say so many lovely things; suddenly I know why my heart sings..' - a great, emotional album with a mixture of melancholic and happy songs, all performed with the excellent Walter Wanderley trio. Light as they are, the recordings have an incredibly perfect, classic sound to them; highlights include a vocal version of Walter Wanderley's big hit - Marcos Valle's 'Summer Samba', the exquisite 'Tristeza', and a great version of 'Call me'. The really isn't a poor track though, and as a bonus on this 1998 CD reissue, 2 tracks are added - the beautifully fragile 'the sadness of after' and a great, shortened, extra-bouncy version of 'Who needs forever', the theme from Quincy Jones's soundtrack to 'The Deadly Affair'. |
