Joyce - S/T (1968)
WOW ! RARE AND GREAT JOYCE'S DEBUT, FEATURING MODERN BOSSA NOVA MIXED WITH TOUCHES OF PSYCHEDELIC FOLK LIKE THE VERSION OF 'AVE MARIA' (WITH MOMENTO QUATRO), COMPOSED BY THE TROPICALIA LEADER 'CAETANO VELOSO' !!!
"Joyce's first solo album from 1968 found her emerging from her apprenticeship with bossa nova legend Vinicius De Moraes, and becoming poised to articulate a new Brazilian jazz that would transcend the clattersome Vegas-y cabaret affectations that typified much of the pre-tropicalia bossa acts. Even so, this album is still stuck in many of the musical habits of the time, framing her as just another richly-toned "girl" vocalist, cooing over some mildly intrusive orchestral arrangements, courtesy of Mestre Gaya and Dori Caymmi. They seemed to be aiming at sort of a lush LA-sunshine pop/Claudine Longet style orchestral backdrop. Joyce's guitar playing is, sadly, not much in evidence here, although her strengths as a songwriter and singer come through loud and clear. About half the tracks on here are her own compositions -- other material comes courtesy of Vinicius, Marcos Valle, Caetano Veloso, and Paulinho Da Viola, as well as an early track by Toninho Horta, who would later become one of her frequent collaborators. Definitely worth checking out, although in retrospect perhaps a bit underwhelming." (WWW.SLIPCUE.COM)
