Review

JazzTimes (3/97, p.80) - "...includes English translations of the Portuguese lyrics and lush, intriguing Claus Ogerman arrangements..."

Title Note

Personnel includes: Antonio Carlos Jobim (Fender Rhodes piano, vocals); Claus Ogerman (arranger, conductor); Miucha (vocals); Ron Carter (bass); Joao Palma (drums); Ray Armando (percussion).

Recorded at Columbia Recording Studios, New York, New York on October 16-23, 1975. Includes liner notes by Bob Blumenthal.

Like many of Antonio Carlos Jobim's '70s albums, 1976's URUBU was arranged by Claus Ogerman, an associate of Jobim's longtime producer Creed Taylor whose occasionally over the top orchestrations often split the ranks of Jobim's fans. Make no mistake, URUBU is definitely one of Jobim's most orchestrated album; Ogerman really goes nuts on a few of these tracks. Unlike some Creed Taylor-produced sessions, however, Ogerman's work doesn't really detract from Jobim's melodies. Perhaps this is because URUBU is Jobim's most consciously "big" work, a tribute record to the great Brazilian composer Hector Villa-Lobos. Jobim seems to be writing for a full orchestra here, or at least for more than a small bossa nova combo, and Ogerman's romantic flourishes actually help push the songs forward. The delightful "Saudade de Brasil," a melancholy but chipper tune, is the particular highlight. Those who hate heavy orchestration will not be impressed, but this may even surpass 1967's WAVE as Ogerman's best work with Jobim.
