This is one of the best Cd’s Luiz Bonfa has dropped to date. Lead single “Ebony Samba (Second Version)” and “Mania De Maria” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. There were many famous songs of Luiz Bonfa available. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
Mania De Maria - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. It’s such an underrated song. Um Abraco No Getz (A Tribute To Getz) - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Menina Flor is the more seemingly obscure song on Jazz Samba Encore! that bear up best to repeated listening. Luiz Bonfa must have run out of lyrics on the next track Samba De Duas Notas (Two Note Samba). It took me a little time but I ended up loving O Morro Nao Tem Vez. If you are a Luiz Bonfa fan, you will love Insensatez (How Insensitive). Sambalero is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. I like the idea behind So Danco Samba (I Only Dance Samba). Listening to Ebony Samba (First Version) you can hear that Luiz Bonfa has still amazing chemistry with band members.
