 | Thursday, October 19th at 9pm: We will conclude October with Young/Million Brazilian Project performing the bossa nova album ELIS & TOM by Elis Regina and Antonio Carlos Jobim from 1974 in its entirety. ALBUM BACKGROUND: This beautiful and legendary recording date between iconic Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina and composer, conductor, and arranger Tom Jobim is widely regarded as one of the greatest Brazilian pop recordings. It is nearly ubiquitous among Brazilians as a household item. Regina's voice is among the most loved in the history of Brazilian music. Her range and acuity, her unique phrasing, and her rainbow of emotional colors are literally unmatched, and no matter the tune or arrangement, she employs most of them on these 14 cuts.
