Love that performance !!!! So much feeling... Could anyone tell me if there's a special metric in it ? I don't feel it's in 4 at the beginning mostly... Sounds so amazing.
This performance is amazing. She's one of top-rank jazz singers on the planet. She was voted #1 Rising Star Vocalist in DownBeat Int'l Critics Poll, #9 in the Best Female Vocalist category and featured on over 50 albums of top artists like Kenny Barron, Esperanza Spalding, Terence Blanchard. It's sad when insecure people get outright angry when a brilliant artist changes all the rules, forcing them into unfamiliar territory. She redefined swing & role of the vocalist. She's a total winner.

Boring. Really boring. I've been in brazil many times since I lived for a long time in Uruguay, a country that has a border with it and I can tell you this is a load of crap. This girl sings like she has a potato in her mouth and the very overrated mark guiliana only awakes yawns from me. So boooooooring.
@leonzioooo The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz doesn't think so since she is the first vocalist to win the competition. I'm sure the anonymous youtube Uruguayan knows much more than judges like Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Wayne Shorter. etc.

@angelddaz Oooh yeah, she’s won a competition? She must be great then! And that's the criteria you use to define what is good or bad? This girl is boring and lacks swing and intensity, her voice is grey and nasal, no colors, no shading, her range is very limited and …yawn just talking about her makes me want to have a ‘siesta.’A little bit more of critical thinking, mate. But obviously you are another sheep following blindly and deafly.
@leonzioooo andate a la conchatumadre, este genero no es ni se supone que sea bossanova, esta artista es una gran interprete del jazz americano. yo he vivido en new york y la veia en vivo, esta es la unica cancion brasilera en su repertorio, ademas hizo un disco con un gran guitarrista sudafricano loueke.
si no te puedes dar cuenta no tienes ni que decir, eres un ignorante total. ademas esta claro que no has escuchado la version original de djavan.
@leonzioooo When you refer to Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition as "a competition" makes it obvious you don't know a thing about jazz. It is the most prestigious, highly respected jazz competition in the world, considered equivalent to the Cliburn Competition. She was also voted Best Jazz Vocalist & best album of the year by int'l jazz critics.The incredible improvisation skills and musicianship she displays here have gone completely over your head. You and your ego missed it all.
@biggieparaty Criticism obviously comes quite easily to you, but it's interesting that you took the time to post such detailed criticism of her pronunciation of Portuguese, which is obviously not her native language, while simultaneously making so many grammatical English errors yourself - obviously not your native language. That and your "too many notes" comment were entertaining.
You're obviously the expert, but you have missed the forest for the trees.
@naturallyfriseschica Some may not like an individual part of this such as Ms.Parlato's vocalizing. The rhythm section is fine.So this listener is one who has listened to several clips of her singing and is just not particularly moved by it.But this listener is obviously in the minority.
Saw this group last night with a different drummer. Absolutely electric and mesmerizing. I've heard this kind of energy before. She was jaw dropping as was the pianist.
@SRK212 I can't figure out how she handles the rhythm. She's always slightly "up" (not sure if that's the right expression) ie. just half a beat ahead of the piano. How does she do it?? I think bossa rhythms are often like that though.
What she is doing is singing off the beat. Sometimes ahead of it, sometimes behind it. If you listen to Gilberto as a starting point, you will hear this a lot. Gretchen also sings with musicians who work with African rhythms, polyrhythmic rhythms, rhythms that are not always familiar to the traditional ear. I wish I could break it down for you in a more specific way, but I can't! It's almost as if she skips ahead of the beat and then plays catch up with the rhythm. She's something!
すばらしい！Excellent！From Japan.
