Rosa Passos & Ron Carter - Entre Amigos / Evolution Music

"Entre Amigos" is highly coveted among audiophile record collectors. This is not only due to the excellent sound quality of this recording. The album was critically acclaimed and the LP version has been out

of print since 2010. Even though most of the tracks on "Entre Amigos" were penned by bossa nova godfather Jobim and songs like "Insensatez", "Desafinado" and "Garota De Ipanema" have been covered a

thousand times over, the collaboration between Brazilian singer Rosa Passo and jazz bassist legend Ron Carter does not stick to the usual bossa nova formula. The songs, which are sparsely orchestrated and

free of stylistic clutter, are emotional, sensual and mysterious.Ron Carter, a true gentleman, is always present but prefers leaving the stage to Passos. Even if this seems a little inappropriate in the context of quiet

tones: Rosa Passos sings spectacularly, with enormous presence and thus leaves the songs no chance of drifting into superficiality or developing an elevator sound mentality. Incidentally, the legendary David Chesk

took over the production. The sound is vivid and extremely airy. You feel as if you are sitting right next to Carter's acoustic bass, while delicate percussion accompanies Passo's involving vocals. Chesky Records now

presents “Entre Amigos” as a brilliant-sounding hybrid SACD – a must-have for fans of sophisticated bossa nova!

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
