Customer Reviews:
One of my favorites.......2007-06-18
Sarah Vaughan, wonderful to hear but to see her sing was the icing on the cake. The only live performer who could give me chills. I saw Ms. Vaughan right after the release of this album and she sang "So Many Stars" live. WOW If you like jazz or like Sarah this is the album for you. If you like them both, you better get this one. Glad it is available on CD.
I love this album.......2007-05-25
I recall reading a review of this recording quite some time ago wherein the reviewer had something bad to say about it. I don't recall who that reviewer was (and wouldn't bother to mention them by name, even if I did), but I can find no fault with this lovely record. If you like Sarah Vaughan, Brazilian music or both I think it is more than likely that you will really enjoy this one. If it's not your cup of tea, fine. If that's the case then I must echo the sentiments of Phil Collins and declare that you obviously have far too much taste and should, therefore, be bound with piano wire and forced to listen Demis Roussos records.
Absolutely Magnificent.......2006-03-08
I have always been a big fan of Sarah's music but when I heard her sing these songs I was blown away. This music fit her voice perfectly. Wanting more and So many stars literally put me in a trance.
An excellent romantic album.......2004-01-05
By the time Sassy recorded this album in 1987, the years of singing were beginning to catch up with her, so it is understandable that she decided to record an album of love songs. Sergio Mendes, a noted figure in Brazilian music, produced the album. The songwriters are unfamiliar to me but most of the songs were co-written by Dori Caymmi or Milton Nascimento, though these two never wrote any of these songs together.
The main musicians are George Duke (keyboards), Alphonso Johnson (bass), Dan Huff and Dori Caymmi (guitars), Carlos Vega (drums) and Paulinho Da Costa (percussion). Guest musicians are brought in as required to play flute, lyricon, tenor sax, alto sax, flugel horn, trumpet and acoustic bass. Backing all of these are a myriad of musicians playing violins, violas and cellos, together with a harpist. Despite all these musicians, the music is very relaxing and the most important instrument of all is Sarah's voice - still in fine form after all those years.
None of these songs are famous but I recognized the opener, Make this city ours tonight, as it was subsequently recorded by the brilliant British jazz singer Claire Martin in the nineties. It is likely that Claire learned the song by listening to this very album, although she recorded the song her way and the two versions are very contrasting. On this album, none of the songs stand out from the others very much, though perhaps my favorite is So many stars, one of only two songs not co-written by Dori Caymmi or Milton Nascimento - it was instead co-written by Sergio Mendes with Alan and Marilyn Bergman, who provided some classic songs for Barbra Streisand and others.
This is an outstanding collection of romantic jazz music with a Latin flavor, ideal for that candle-lit dinner or other romantic occasions, but enjoyable at any time.
ID GIVE THIS RECORDINGS 10 STARS IF THEYD LET ME.......2003-03-10
The Divine One is simply that DIVINE sure there are other great singers but this IS THE ONE WHO FLYS HIGH ABOVE THE REST IN ANY facet of vocal artistry...GO get this....Sarah what a glorious way to leave this earth...... SIMPLY DIVINE..your music makes my heart sing..

Outstanding Organ Music.......2004-01-11
If you enjoy the sounds that the mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ can produce - you'll enjoy this album. George Wright is probably the best ever at mastering the multiple banks of keys and pedals of this complex instrument, and the music is very relaxing and entertaining. The sounds he coaxes out of the Wurlitzer on "Quiet Village" are remarkable. Easily one of his best - excellent on either a small office stereo, or played on a home theater system.

Customer Reviews:
From New England.......2006-02-26
I am not a jazz afficionato but the songs in this album are beautiifully arranged and they just light up my day when I play them. My favorite is "How Insensitive". The touch of the piano is light, the counterpoint just makes me beam. Just wonderful!
latin moods from Brazilian roots...excilerating!.......2001-08-27
The entire album is a "latin jazz" must have...but there are two stand outs ~ "CORCOVADO", featuring Charlie Byrd and Ken Peplowski, this alone is worth the price of admission, two classic musicians with a never-to-be-forgotten duet...the other is ~ MANHA DE CARNAVAL (SUNRISE), over four minutes of pure esctasy from sultry style of Susannah McCorkle, what a great loss of this memorable interpreter of lyrics, who passed away this year in May, she will be sorely missed...she had the free-spirit of Ella!
Hats off to producers John Burk & Chris Dunn, mastered by George Horn and Concord Jazz, mixing the essential ingredient into every release, quality first and foremost...can always count on them to come up with great and unforgettable moods in jazz...a note to Concord, we need more of the same!
You might try other Concord Record titles, all worthy of a good listen ~ "Most Requested Songs"-Susannah McCorkle (CCD-4976-2)..."Communion"-John Patitucci (CCD-4970-2)..."Both Sides of the Coin"-Cal Tjader (CCD2-4975-2)..."Midnight Blue"-Jimmy Bruno Group (CCD-4980-2)...check out my reviews on amazon.com/music.
Total Time: 59:27 on 11 Tracks ~ Concord Records CCD-5200-2 ~ (1997)
Excellent compilation.......2000-04-05
Just about every song on this CD is just wonderful and masterfully done. The quality of the recording, the instruments and the musicians is superior. It is very sultry without being languid or sluggish. Great rhythms are married to intriguing melodies to move you subtly and keep you from getting bored. Perfect music for a jazzy cocktail party, or a steamy night home with someone special. Highly recommended!

Maestro Fantastico!.......2007-04-28
Each note is a jewel that he performs with such life that you feel your heart beating to his rhythm. His left hand is amazingly clean but the stregnth and dynamics of his right hand could perform CPR without placing his hand on you. Gracias Dios para Celedonio haciendo Pepe !
As usual a Romero delivers.......2007-03-23
I love this album but then again I love almost everything from the Romeros. I can't wait to see Corazon Espanol up on Amazon though. The sound quality is amazing. I got a copy at one of Pepe's performances and fell in love. I want to send get more of them to send as gifts for my friends and family.
Not so good for the car.......2007-03-17
While on the highway when only the guitar is playing I have to turn up the volume to hear the music. Then suddenly the entire orchestra joins in and the windows rattle from the blast of sound. I could not find a volume level that worked for this disk. The music was lovely but the sound engineering was disappointing.
The Music Evokes Feelings of Joy and Comfort.......2007-01-02
Listening to this album gives me the feeling of being three years old and starting to fall asleep after dinner and my father picking me up and carrying me to bed. I cannot describe how his music envelopes me-- I do not know why but every time I hear it I start to tear up. On this CD he is backed by an orchestra and hearing him play and them back him so perfectly is a delight to the ears. I play this CD for everything-- but I like it when I am lying down after a workout with candles lit and I can just close my eyes and melt into the music. I am not a music person-- I know very little and only know what I like but cannot explain it, but this CD is very, very wonderful. If you like guitar music of the classic genre, you will love this CD.
Great CD!.......2006-08-10
I put it on and press repeat. Very beautiful music and the orchestra is wonderful.

Reaching deep into its cavernous vaults, Verve has extracted a rich bountiful of moody and sentimental jazz, perfect for those long, expectant evenings or those equally long, rain-filled days. Nicely packaged with nostalgic, sepia-toned photographs on both the box and each individual CD, A Jazz Romance contains nearly 60 songs guaranteed to set a distinctly low- keyed mood, equal parts sultry and sad. The vast majority of the material is from bygone days of the '40s and '50s, with the more recent entries retaining that flavor. The four discs are entitled In Dreams, Ever, Believing, and Always. They're rather interchangeable, sharing many of the same artists and each having as many vocals as instrumentals, yet each does have some distinction from the others. In Dreams features the great saxophones of Johnny Hodges on "The Last Time I Saw Paris" and Ben Webster on "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning." Ever has marvelous versions of "My Man" by Sarah Vaughn and "The Shadow of Your Smile" by Dexter Gordon. Believing contains a contemporaneous version of "Some Other Time" by guitarist Mark Whitfield and Diana Krall, along with an outstanding example of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's versatility on "Alfie." Always, perhaps the dreamiest of the lot, has Chet Baker on "Alone Together," Illinois Jacquet on "Star Dust," and Stan Getz doing "Thanks for the Memories." Concentrating exclusively on the romantic side of jazz, this compilation contains an abundance of subtle, emotional music offering great listening in addition to setting the all-important mood. --Wally Shoup
Customer Reviews:
An absolutely stunning collection.......2002-12-10
Ballads, I believe, are the real test of musicianship. And this collection has a judicious and delicious selection which is perhaps the best balanced one I know featuring the all time great moments - Clifford Brown's treatment of Rodgers and Harts Where or When will bring tears to your eyes - as well as quirky less known works - If the Moon Turns Green sung by Billy Holiday - the "old", Ben Webster, along with the "new" Mark Whitfield. Please don't think this is or should be "background" music. You only have to listen to Bill Evans playing with Paul Motian and Gary Peacock on CD1 to realise this is a collection of some of the greatest moments in 20th Century music, regardless of genre.
Pretty Good.......2002-02-22
This selection contains a bunch of great cuts and a few that I could live without, especially the Blossom Dearie tracks. However, as opposed to most collections with weak tracks, this one flows along so well that it is a pleasure to put all four CDS on and let it play in the background on a quiet evening "In." I prefer the companion 4 CD set called "A Night Out with Verve." I would recommend "Out" over "In."
Jazz novice opinion.......2002-02-11
I am a complete novice when it comes to Jazz. Don't know much about it except that I enjoy it. I have to say this set of CD's is a great mood-setter. Definitely softens the atmosphere and relaxes the body and soul. Great music for a night of serenity and romance
Terrific Sampling of Wonderful Performances.......2001-12-28
I put this cd set on my Amazon wishlist, and was very pleased to get it as a gift from my lover. All the old familiar songs, together with songs that I think I remember from my childhood, transport me to space where romance and sentmentality feel like comfortable old wool sweater. Think I'll just sit back... sip some good hot coffee..and hope the boyfriend joins me on the couch
Excellent Follow-up to 'A Night Out with Verve' box.......2001-12-19
Beautiful. Billie Holiday blends seamlessly into Dinah Washington into Johnny Hodges into... this four box is the perfect background atmosphere for your swank cocktail party or that evening of candlelight romance. The compilers have collected a remarkable selection of music from classic Verve jazz heavyweights like Elle and Louie, Sarah Vaughan, Clifford Brown, Coleman Hawkins to, surprisingly, a few lesser known French artists such as Michael Legrand (who wrote the score for the French film 'Les Parapluies De Cherbourg') and Laura Fygi. This is a highly recommended classic jazz collection that will beautifully compliment your romantic evening in and will fit nicely into any classic jazz lovers music collection.

Customer Reviews:
Pure instrumental magic!.......2007-06-13
The purchase of this CD was highly recommended by a fellow member of Yahoo's "Beautiful Instrumentals Group." Containing several formerly unavailable on CD selections, this album is pure instrumental magic! For example, some of you may recall Monte Kelly's mid-1950s rendition of "Tropicana," from the LP of the same name, and other songs from that collection. They are here at last! I have been waiting since CDs came out to see "Tropicana" and many other "magical instrumentals" from the US and Europe finally appear on CD, and this is the first in a series of new CDs produced by Nick Acquaviva to hit the market that feature these wonderful instrumentals. I highly recommend that anyone who loves classic instrumental check this and the entire series out. You will not be disappointed!

Magical.......2003-06-11
I run a small horse and carriage business and was looking for some instrumental romantic music to play for our guests. I accidentally stumbled upon this album, and was blown away by how great it sounds. It will really put you in the mood for warm summer nights with a gentle breeze. I absolutely love this album, and wish I could find more like it. I never tire of listening to this music!
Forgotten Romance.......2000-07-05
La Vienta left me a little cold on this one. Jazzmenco and Night Dance were better.Nonetheless was happy to add this disc to my collection.It is pleasant to listen to but lacks the warmth and drive of their two previous endeavours. Perhaps I expected to much from a title such as this. Forgotten Romance is suppose to take the listener to a time in his or her life that was special.In my humble opinion it fell somewhat short of the mark.No doubt others will find the album right on for their memories.I eagerly await La Vientas next release. I am a fan of these artist,as well as Acoustic Alchemy.

Romance Latino V.3.......2006-03-20
This CD is worth every penny. If you are looking for romantic music with a latino breeze for a dinner for 2, this is the right cd for you.
I love her voice. I love you Lisa Ono!!!
Get ready to be CHARMED! .......2006-02-11
Nothing can be more apt to describe Lisa Ono's voice than that of a cool sea breeze; soothing, gentle and alluring.
Unlike other conventional bossanova singers who frequently inject lots of heavy exuberance into their singing (for example, Omara Portuondo), Lisa avoids that and chooses to go for a more subtle, jazzy singing style; a style that makes her albums so alluring and charming. Listeners sense that light, feminine, honey-like voice and succumb to her spell. It's a voice that reeks of tenderness and beauty.
Add tenderness and beauty to bossanova tunes and what you have is an excellent musical gem. Romance Latino Vol 3 is her best among the Romance Latino collection. It is also one of the very few albums where I really enjoyed every single track.
The vibrant opening track itself sets the mood for the rest of the album; Cachito (Little boy) has a joyous beat and effectively harnesses the motherly, tender voice of Lisa to good effect as the lyrics reflect a mother's love for her little boy.
Lisa's rendition of Besame Mucho remains the best and most memorable version I have heard as well. Other stand out tracks include the festive-like El Bodeguero, Cachita and Cancion Para Santiago de Cuba.
The album's audio standard is excellent; bass is subtle and sufficient enough to lend some nice touches of 'oomph' to the tunes, thus making sure that Lisa's voice is never overshadowed by other elements.
In short, this is the BEST bossanova album I ever had! I can only hope Lisa would release a concert DVD soon. I had the wonderful opportunity to attend her concert last year when she stopped over in Singapore for her Asia tour.

THE VERY BEST EVER.......2005-05-30
This is a master class in vocals for ANY singer....be taken to Brazil like no one else could ever take you...the voice is glorious as is the music. The arrangements are lush and full... one of those very few albums that will never date and you will never get tired off....music made from heaven...may god bless you Sarah simply THE DIVINE ONE...
One more in the 3-set Sarah Vaughan's Brazilian collection.......2004-11-22
This third album of Brazilian songs by Ms. Vaughan was her first to be recorded in the USA and team is quite different than in the former albums.
Production was by Sergio Mendes and arrangements were by Dori Caymmi, the great Brazilian arranger, composer, guitarrist and singer. He's one of the best arrangers for vocal albums in Brazil.
Here you'll find a lush set with strings and extremely good taste along with Ms. Vaughan's master command.
Repertoire is all Brazilian material, featuring Sergio Mendes' big hit 'So Many Stars' with lyrics by Alan & Marilyn Bergman plus a beautiful and intricate song titled 'Wanting More' by the great Brazilian composer Fernando Leporace.
A must-have album!
Sarah's last gift!.......2004-08-14
This is such a wonderful cd! the arrangements are great with that brazilian twist, and the amazing voice of Vaughan! this was Sassy last cd and what a great gift she left for us!
'So Many Stars' is so beautiful!
"Do Yourself A Favor...".......2004-03-20
I remember the first time that I heard this cd. Wow! So lush, so alive, so dense with life. The arrangements so excited me that it took a few listenings to really "hear" Sarah. Now that could be interpreted as not being complimentary, but in this instance, it is. Then I really started to "hear" Sarah...
. Has there ever really been a better overall singer? The air is thin, and the people are few at this altitude. Do yourself a favor, and get this and "I Love Brazil." After living with these for awhile, you too will be enveloped in a "Brazilian Romance."
