LISA ONO: Cheek To Cheek (Jazz Standards From Rio)

LISA ONO & MARIO ADNET
A elegância e a economia de notas são - em síntese - a essência da "bossa nova". E é isso que encontramos, sempre, nos álbuns de Lisa Ono. Agora: reunir Lisa e Mário Adnet é - como diz o jargão popular -  "juntar a fome com a vontade de comer"...

(*)Mais um motivo pra eu morrer de inveja e "odiar" o Mario, por conceber e escrever os arranjos, como eu gostaria de fazê-los.

LISA ONO: Cheek To Cheek (Jazz Standards From Rio)
Cheek To Cheek -Jazz Standards from Rio- was produced by Lisa and Mario Adnet, a Brazilian guitar player, has been arranging many songs for Lisa many years. The sound concept for this album is, “Lisa Ono with horns”, and
features Big Band classics such as Duke Ellington’s numbers. The top horn section, strings, and percussion musicians of Rio, Brazil, supports Lisa. In Brazil, there is a dance hall “Gafieira,” which is very common among the people for many years. The band of “Gafieira” with horn section plays not only samba and choro, but jazz and latin classics with Brazilian style, and man and woman gets in pair and dance to it. Their music became so popular that the word “Gafieira” now represents the dance itself or the genre. I’m sure the happy atmosphere of
“Gafieira” is one of the things you can feel from this album. Lisa Ono has sang these jazz standards loved by all of the world and generation, not only with a nostalgic feeling, but with a fresh sense from the new experiences with chorus and horn section. Listen to Lisa’s challenging spirit behind the good old and lovely melodies.

MINHA OPINIÃO
Lisa Ono tem um cuidado enorme na produção dos seus álbuns: a escolha do repertório e dos arranjadores, obedece sempre a um "conceito". Desta vez, Lisa convidou MÁRIO ADNET, para pintar e emoldurar as cores do Rio de Janeiro, num repertório de "standards", eternos e maravilhosos. E - como já descreveu ali em cima o Jin Nakahara, o clima é mesmo de "gafieira" - só que de alto luxo, sofisticadíssima. Mais carioca, impossível...Só poderia ser OURO EM PÓ!
