A tribute to his adoptive mother, PIETA finds Brazilian
singer/songwriter Milton Nascimento keeping her favorite
artists (including Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, and Yma
Sumac) in mind. Rather than covering songs made famous by
these performers, Nascimento evokes their musical spirits
with his expressive voice and a set of mostly original tunes,
resulting in a relaxed and beautiful album. Renowned
conductor/arranger Eumir Deodato contributes his trademark
swooning strings to a number of selections here, including
the gentle "Tristesse" and the title track, in which subtle
electronics blend with a light acoustic-guitar line and
stomping percussion. Although most of PIETA features a host
of Brazilian musicians, two American jazz luminaries--
pianist Herbie Hancock and guitarist Pat Metheny--join
Nascimento for a fascinatingly spare take on Hancock's funky
"Cantaloupe Island." Though the track might initially seem
out of step with the rest of the disc, it proves to be one of
the many highlights of this remarkable record, which ranks
among Nascimento's best work.
