From BBC
2008 marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of bossa nova and this 15-track tribute to seminal, if now largely forgotten, Brazilian-accented and jazz samba-influenced cuts proves to be a sparkling start to the birthday celebrations. Compiled by Italian acid jazz innovator and eclectic champion of all things stylish and laid back, Nicola Conte � a recommendation in itself � Viagem offers prime examples of the hi-octane jazz-influenced bossa nova and African-tinged samba that made Brazil the global centre of all that was musically chic, sophisticated and oh-so-cool for an all too brief period in the Sixties.

Sourced from the Sao Paulo-based RGE, Som Mairoa and Fermata labels, this is sizzling stuff indeed with every track a pleasure. Ten�rio Jr's pacey Nebulosa opens proceedings with a piano line that ripples through your body like a double shot of espresso injected straight into your veins. Don't panic, the warm, blessed-out Samadhi from the same keyboard master will bring you gently back down at the album's close. Ten�rio Jr also makes his presence felt in Wanda S�'s persuasively tongue-in-cheek take on the Tom Jobim-penned classic, Vivo Sonhando.

And talking of classics: era-defining Canto de Ossanha gets a bright, brisk harmony-laden brush-up courtesy of Trio Maraya while the delightfully named Claudia & Brazilian Octopus slice into Albanese/Pereira's magnificently upbeat Gosto de ser como Sou with vivaciously cheeky panache.

Sublimely bridging bossa nova and jazz, the Zimbo Trio's Zimbo Sambo is a gift for jazz-dance purists (and the rest of us, too, for that matter). Ditto a hypnotically addictive take on the Jorge Ben anthem, Vamos embora uau from the Bossa-Jazz Trio.

And there's lots more here! Just one complaint, however: nice packaging but a little more background on individual tracks and artists wouldn�t go amiss.

This is the first volume in a DJ-compiled series of bossa nova discs from Far Out Recordings this year and it's hard to imagine that any will be better than this one. Go on, treat yourself.


Nicola Conte is an Italian DJ and producer known for introducing an innovative style of acid jazz that incorporates bossa nova themes, melodies drawn from Italian film scores of the 1960's, easy ing themes, and ethnic Indian music.
Conte, a classically-trained musician, is mastermind of a collective of acid jazz revivalists, "The Fez collective," based in the Italian town of Bari, and the Schema label, their record label for promoting their distinctly Italian approach to acid jazz.
Conte's first album was Jet Sounds of 2000. The single "Bossa Per Due" gained international recognition and was an underground hit. It was used almost immediately for a prime-time commercial for Acura automobiles. The album was licensed for American distribution by Thievery Corporation's Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL) label in the summer of 2001 as Bossa Per Due, and was slightly reconfigured version of the Italian Jet Sounds album. This was followed by the Jet Sounds Revisited remix album in late 2002. Two years later, Blue Note's French subsidiary released Conte's next album Other Directions.
Conte also produced albums by other artists such as Rosalia De Souza and Paolo Achenza Trio.
