| | Dusty Groove America - Brazil CD (M-Z and Various) |
 | | The sound is breezy and jazzy -- kind of a variant on styles forged in the Brazilian jazz scene of the 70s and 80s, with the same sort of fluttery, floating use of the guitar -- all of which makes for a really sweet sound to the set. |
 | | The sound is sort of bossa-baroque, with that emotive tone that Maysa brought to her vocals, and which established her as a bridge between older Brazilian styles of singing, and some of the flatter ones used during the bossa era. |
 | | Brazilian tunes include versions of "Constant Rain", "Cinnamon & Clove", "Bim Bom", and "Wave" -- and there's also a few nice English numbers, like their hit version of "Night & Day", and a great reading of "Watch What Happens". |
