"COMPILATION OF 1970'S JOBIM RECORDINGS, A GOOD FIFTEEN YEARS AFTER THE INITIAL BOSSA NOVA CRAZE, BUT NEVERTHELESS DAZZLING IN ITS' TIMELESSNESS AND BEAUTY. WONDERFUL MUSIC, A GREAT CD OF CLASSIC RECORDINGS. BRAZILIAN MUSIC HAD A BIG RESURGENCE IN THE 70'S WITH THE EMERGENCE OF STARS LIKE MILTON NASCIMENTO, WHICH FOCUSED A LOT OF ATTENTION TO THIS GENRE OF MUSIC. A VERY, MELLOW, MELODIC, AND ENJOYABLE CD."

"Quincy Jones once said trying to compose and record a #1 hit is like trying to bottle lightning, but in the end, you have to leave room for God to walk through.



No doubt, there's alot of give and take involved with the music industry.



During the late 70's, Miucha and Antonio Carlos Jobim joined forces to assemble a string of hits that made a big impact.



Echoes Of Rio is a compilation of these timeless recordings put together by RCA, the majority of the tracks are off the 1977 Miucha and Antonio Carlos Jobim album.



Echoes Of Rio is solid gold, each song will sear into your memory cells and leave you humming with your heart pounding.



All the Hits are here, Vei Levando, Sei La' A Vida Tem Sempre Razao' and Choro De Nada...



The haunting rhythms and arrangements strike a definate accord, one of the greatest track list I've heard.



Magic.



Thank you, RCA. Thank you Miucha & Tom for a lovely set of songs!
