Assembled by modern classical composer Aldo Brizzi, the 12 tracks on Brizzi Do Brasil feature the cream of Brazil's popular music scene with Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Virginia Rodrigues, Tom Ze, and Carlinhos Brown making up a partial list contributers. The moody music is steeped in the Brazilian music tradition with shades of jazz harmonics, other world music genres, ambient electronica and avant-garde fusions added. The Italian composer/arranger is obviously very smitten with the music and players, and it lends the project an idealized quality where the ardent optimism leads to smoldering beauty of romance's first blush. Most of the tracks are slow and moody, as if performed al fresco in the hot tropical night--never more than on Virginia Rodrigues and Nuno Guerreiro's lilting duet "Velada ou Revelada." An album of remarkable ambition and scope, Brizzi Do Brasil is a beautiful musical romance that ranks as one of the best Brazilian albums to come out in 2004. –-Tad Hendrickson
