	Milton Nascimento - Biographie
		When Milton Nascimento was 2 years old, he touched the keys of a small piano for the first time.
		Milton almost starved during his stay in the big city, even though the new star Elis Regina recorded his song "Canção do Sal" on her second album, in 1966.
		Milton's career was established with Wagner Tiso, Toninho Horta, Beto Guedes and Lô Borges - pillars of a group that would be known as "The Corner Club", (Clube da Esquina), because of two exemplary albums released in 1972 and 1978.

	Music: Streetcorner Genius (The Boston Phoenix . 08-16-99)
		Milton is from the same generation as the tropicália group and is often spoken of in the same breath, but he was not a card-carrying member.
		Nascimento's work is as harmonically sophisticated as the pop medium can allow, and indeed in the US he gained his first recognition via the jazz world, when Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, and Wayne Shorter brought his music widespread attention outside Brazil in the 1970s.
		Nascimento's home state of Minas Gerais, the "General Mines," is a landlocked, mountainous area far from the beaches of Rio, whose western side "you won't see" because it trails off into the impenetrable center of the country.

	Milton Nascimento: Nascimento
		Milton Nascimento's music could not have been created by anyone but a passionately partisan Brazilian national, yet he consistently transcends his dearly held cultural identity.
		Milton was born under Scorpio in Rio de Janeiro in 1942, but grew up with adoptive parents in a town called Tres Pontes in the landlocked province of Minas Geraes, which translates to "General Mines".
		At her invitation, Milton showed up with his guitar and played all of his songs for her, all the while nervously wondering whether or not he was boring her.

		Milton affirms and transcends ethnic, geographical and generational boundaries of cultural competence and membership.
		Milton’s place and roles in the complex system of Brazilian music and its projections abroad call for specific elucidation of his appeal and impact.
		With these fundamental strengths, Milton’s music embodies concentric levels of content and presentation which appeal both to audiences’ ability to appreciate sheer artistic skill, as well as to a multi-cultural proficiency involving various memberships or constituencies.

	Milton Nascimento: Geraes - Musik CDer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Milton Nascimento is a post-Bossa Nova composer who has set a personal music style so called the sound of Minas.
		Nascimento is also one of the most original crooners in Brazil with his famous falsetto resembling an impressive cry of deep sadness and despair.
		This is Milton's homage to his dearest land, his native Minas Geraes -which gave titles to this and its equally astonishing counterpart, MInas- and a return to his roots.

	Milton Nascimento Discography - Slipcue.Com Brazilian Music Guide
		Nascimento's music is often experimental and challenging -- one of his signature techniques is a expressive, scat-ish vocalization, either with his solo voice, or with a small chorus.
		Nascimento's interest in Luso-Africanism is still at the fore, with a song about an 18th Century quilombo ("Louvacao A Mariama"), along with plenty of more romantic material.
		Milton performs on and contributes several songs, and although Shorter takes some interesting chances with Nascimento's material (particularly on the melodically-deflated version of "Lilia"), ultimately he seems to have lacked the compositional strength that would have made this a truly great album.

	Gilberto Gil & Milton Nascimento: Gil & Milton - PopMatters Music Review
		Nascimento has long been considered a "savior" of Brazilian music, a singer who's fronted many inventive arrangements and exalted many a Portuguese lyric.
		Nascimento's rustic falsetto and staid tenor grounds arrangements that are both lyrical and touched in the head, and the albums I have contain a few of those.
		Nascimento himself might've created the go-figure rhythms of "Trovoada": the percussion sounds as if it's based on a skipping CD, yet the singers sound normal.

	Flora Purim, Sings Milton Nascimento (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Nascimento has cemented a worldwide reputation as a gifted vocalist and songwriter of Brazilian pop and jazz spanning 30-plus albums.
		The notoriety she gained as a member of Return to Forever allowed her to arrange for Nascimento to appear as her guest at the 1974 Montreux Jazz Festival, which was preserved on Purim's album 500 Miles High, Live at Montreux.
		Purim's performance here is remarkable in that her voice is both rich with all her experience and vocal ability, and yet at the same time sounds every bit as fresh, young and clear as it did on those early '70s Chick Corea records.

	Milton Nascimento : Travessia - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Travessia, the debut album of Milton Nascimento that was first released in 1967, has been re-released several times through the years.
		It is a good sample of how Nascimento sounded before his Clube da Esquina phase, and the album largely consists of very slow, very gentle songs with long melodies.
		To many, Travessia is one of the artistic highlights of Nascimento's career, while others prefer the more pop-influenced Clube da Esquina phase that would soon follow.

		This is a mesmerizing journey into Milton's World: a world like no other, with music so idiomatic that no one else could do it or attempt to do it.
		Milton is a "World Music Treasure" unto himself (sorry, Brasil, he belongs to all of us) and, four decades into his career, he continues to produce fresh, beautiful music that excites, fascinates, and invigorates the mind.
		That someone like Nascimento, who has been making music for so long, could come up with something so fresh is truly amazing; and his artistic companions on this disc were perfectly chosen.

		Since we are hardly adept at the Romance languages, we understand not a word of what is sung.
		Nascimento are both Brazilian, but friends insist that the language sung is Spanish, not Portuguese.
		Thus, the perfect chance to test our theory that lyrics are generally little more than a vehicle for the human voice (although we would regret the absence of Frishberg and Co.).

		Both men are of African descent, but everyone knows that Nascimento (Rio de Janeiro, 1942) and Gil (Salvador, Bahia, 1942) are on the opposite ends of the spectrum in their personalities and cultural roots; Gil, sunny and exuberant, like Bahia.
		And Nascimento, reserved and shy, deep and subterranean, like his native Minas Gerais, a land rich in gold, diamonds, and the baroque.

		Milton omits the lyrics, reharmonizes chords, intones the outraged bridge with an eerie gentleness and passivity over flutes.
