Back from various and sundried divings about in my motor car. I went to Amoeba to kill time but time wasn't there, so I got a CD instead. I still have the ability to be intrigued by an album cover, and am I glad I was - I was in the Brazilian section looking for CDs of Sylvia Telles, and I just happened to see a CD by a group called BR6, that said Jobim and Gershwin. So, I looked at the track list, but the thing that really caught my eye was the line that said it was an acapella album, and that despite what you think you may hear, nothing other than the voices of BR6 appear on the album. Well, I got into the car and put it on and the first track, a combo of a Jobim song and Rhapsody In Blue, was absolute genius. You'd think you were hearing percussion and bass, but no, it's all human voices doing amazing things in amazing arrangements and I absolutely love this album.
