Milagre presents a jazz vocalist at the height of her powers supported by a superlative soloist and encouraging accompanist. The two seem at home together, with Adnet’s deep alto dancing lightly over Alves’ precise rubato rhythms. The two give intimate, superb performances of compositions penned by Antônio Carlos Jobim, Gilberto Gil and other masters. Adnet picked up her innate understanding of the music while touring with Jobim for more than a decade, and her close study and countless performances are stamped on each tune. “Waters Of March” stands out as one of the only English tunes on the disc but is also notable for the casual ease of tempo. The tune’s accompaniment skips along, never rushing, and Adnet is able to lay on the back of the beat, nearly creating a rhythmic tension that makes the song one of the best on the record. The two also perform lesser-known numbers, such as the playful “April Child” and the breezy title tune. They seem to work best at a fast clip of a tempo, and the disc is full of uptempo, danceable music, but ballads like “Desafinada” are also beautiful in their slower pace. —Jon Ross DownBeat Magazine Individually, vocalist Maucha Adnet and pianist Helio Alves boast impressive résumés. She has collaborated with Charlie Byrd, Dori Caymmi, Eliane Elias, Gilberto Gil and Toninho Horta, and spent a decade touring and recording with Antonio Carlos Jobim. He’s partnered with an equally illustrious assortment of artists, including Yo-Yo Ma, Joe Henderson and Paquito D’Rivera. But the two Brazilians’ finest performances, spanning two decades, have been side-by-side. 1
