HMV Review

Although Robert Lamm, singer/songwriter/pianist of Chicago, has revealed a taste for Latin music among many other styles in his songs (e.g., Another Rainy Day in New York City), this solo album is a considerable departure for him. It is what it says it is, a collection of bossa nova arrangements on which Lamm serves as singer. The other major force in the project is John Van Epps, who plays piano, percussion, bass, and orchestral programming, in addition to arranging and producing. (He also wrote Samba in Your Life and co-wrote Haute Girl with Lamm.) On his previous solo albums, Lamm has staked out a musical personality similar but not identical to the one he occupies in Chicago, largely writing his own pop/rock songs. Here, although he does have three writing credits, he is largely a vocalist. For that, he uses his conversational midrange, taking it, as one song title put it, Nice 鮮' Easy, but observing the Latin rhythms and managing to get through all the words on the potential tongue twisters A Man and a Woman (the theme from the 1966 Claude Lelouch movie) and Antonio Carlos Jobim's Aguas de Marco. This may be a busman's holiday for a rock singer/songwriter, but it may also suggest an alternate career path, and at very least demonstrates Lamm's versatility. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

     アルバム・タイトルどおり、スタンダードとオリジナル楽曲がミックスされたボッサな企画盤ですが、道楽で片手間に作ったレプリカ・モデルとは違う、本物の手応えを感じさせる逸品だと思います。  有名曲のカヴァーも、原曲の雰囲気をそのままに、決して手を抜かない、しっかりと演奏された楽曲に仕上げられています。  スロー&クイックの配曲も、とっても耳に心地良くて、7月4日のよく晴れた土曜日の公園で、アイスクリームでも食べながらリラックスして聴いていたい作品集です。

    いきなり「男と女」で意表を衝き、ヴォサノヴァ、ボサノバの雨あられなんて。ぶっきらぼうに、ちょっとひねくれたような歌い方も大人の男のいなせな感じが漂います。

    ライノでのシカゴのカタログも、ほぼコンプリートなロバート・ラム氏の余裕の1枚です。リラックスして聴きましょう。
