Here we go again with another release sponsored by Caetano Rodrigues, The Great. Caetano presents this time a female singer and I'm very confident that this post will be a treat for many Loronixers. It was a surprise to see the tremendous feedback given to Pat Thomas and I hope that Joni James hits the same honors gave by Loronixers to Pat Thomas. Let's check another Caetano's gem.

This is Joni James - Bossa Nova Style (1965), for MGM. Hearing Joni James, I sure that you will remember the anthological Julie is her Name, by Julie London. Joni James seems to be from the same school and her interpretation of Bossa Nova is really different. I like Joni James singing and this is a very pleasant LP. Thanks for this one Caetano.

Tracks include:

01 - Dindi
02 - I Could Have Danced All Night
03 - September Song
04 - My Foolish Heart
05 - I Wish You Love
06 - While We're Young
07 - I Understand
08 - The Girl from Ipanema
09 - Guilty
10 - Once I Loved
11 - My Romance
12 - You're Nearer

Really nice album- It is wonderful that Caetano shows us a mix of brazilian music recorderd in Brazil itself and albums recorderd outside of Brazil.
You learn every day new things.
how Zeca said "great Caetano"

Very classy. I really appreciate your presentation of international bossa nova releases. I find an outsider's perspective on the genre fascinating, illuminating and, even sometimes, amusing. But always entertaining, never boring. Keep up the great work!
PS I would like to share my Isabelle Aubret, Helen Merrill, Morricone, Gimmicks etc files in the future.

Friends,
I'm happy that you were thrilled by Joni James. Each new international release from Caetano is also a treat to me. The challenge is to write info from artists and music that I'm not used.
Cheers, zeca

LLego a su página a través del link de Singin'&Swingin'. Es mediante la generosidad del Sr. Scarpia que tuve conocimiento acerca del Sr. Caetano y de Joni James. Reitero mi agradecimiento al Sr. Caetano y, en cuanto a Joni James, sigo creyendo que su naturalidad y frescura la hace una artista encantadora. Tiene un estilo muy suyo que, a mi parecer, la hace irrepetibe. Creo que eso es lo bello en ella. No imita a nadie ni pretende parecerse a ninguna otra cantante. Agradecida también a usted por publicar este disco.
