I saw your post in the Moan Zone and came here to make these two comments:

1) You may have better feedback if you post your request in the "works in progress" section.

2) I loved the sound. Wouldn't change a thing. I listened to only three samples per record, though.

All in all, I liked the Elis tribute better. The arrangements in the Standards release sounded a little too close to the "originals," down to João Gilberto's ennunciation (here, I am referring to "Desafinado" where she sings "so os privilegiados tem ouviiiido iguallll aooo seuuu" with João's cadence. Good job nailing it, but that drawl belongs to João, sorry).

So, as you can see, it takes a self-proclaimed "expert" to find any flaws with your release. I think that's good news. Congratulations. I hope it sells like hotcakes.

Best,
++aldo
