タワーレコード
Encontro is a date that matched the excellent group Bossa Três with the power-house bossa vocalist Pery Ribeiro, perhaps the most assured male voice of the '60s and a worthy companion to Elis Regina (who was in turn the best Brazilian vocalist of all). Bossa Três (Luís Carlos Vinhas, Edison Machado, Tião Neto) make a big difference on this record, their dynamic range and virtuosic playing taking nearly as much of the spotlight as Ribeiro himself. Their version of "O Canto de Ossanha" is intriguing, starting in a haunting fashion with only struck piano and Ribeiro's voice before the track blossoms one minute later. Machado especially stands out, often sounding like he's right behind the listener and the whole group playing with such splendid intuition and knowledge of the others that the songs wind their way around each other snake-like. Encontro is a splendid match of vocalist with instrumentalists. ~ John Bush|
