  Carlos Lyra (Brazilian Music & Bossa Nova)
Lyra and bossa nova are enmeshed, but the author of Primavera has always maintained his musical identity.
The foundation was in place for Lyra to transform the bossa of "love, smiles and flowers" (in reference to the first phase of bossa nova) into music with both feet firmly planted on the ground, consistent with a reality which was already beginning to show signs of political incoherency.
Lyra immediately joined the group of dissidents and activists, bringing dissonance to all the choruses formed by those satisfied with the "cool" (and already distant) aesthetic of the song and the poetry of João Gilberto and Company.

Matters are brightened somewhat by two charts from the pen of Al Cohn: Carlos Lyra's "Lugar Bonita" and Marcos Valle's "Learn To Live Alone." For all Evans' acclaim, I find Cohn's writing much more coherent and pleasing to the ear.
The remainder of the album is devoted to three songs by Jobim, two by Carlos Lyra, one each by Marcos Valle and Joao Gilberto, along with three from America.
My personal favorites on the album are Joao's "Bim Bom," Lyra's "Lugar Bonita" and Valle's "Learn To Live Alone." The weakest song is quite possibly the title track; although its arrangement is pleasingly low-key, the melody and harmony are very much in the folk bag, and don't have much in the way of saudade.
