Recorded in 1976, "milton" follows closely on the heels of "native dancer", the album that paired the gifted brazilian singer-song-writer milton nascimento with saxophonist wayne shorter and put him squarely in that international jazz-pop star corner. once again nascimento is backed by shorter on soprano saxophone and herbie hancock on piano. shorter's expert, sometimes airily ethereal horn complements nascimento's yearning yet free-spirited baritone, a voice that ranges from a tremulous vibrato to a soaring, effortless falsetto, as on "os povos".
nascimento displays his tremendous vocal variety in an album that explores a great range of brazilian music. african roots dominate "raça", a song about candomble, a popular afro-brazilian religion akin to voodoo, while "cravo e canela", now a well-known pop tune, gives a spacious solo to hancock. there is the incantatory poetry of "saídas e bandeiras" and "nothing will be as it was", polished to a high luster by hancock and shorter behind nascimento's sweetly soaring voice. "tell me when will i hear from my people", he sings, "tell me when will i hear from my friends, now that we've got our feet on the road, now that we have a taste of the dawn". clearly, as part of the socially aware mpb (musica popular brasileira) movement, a response to the harsh rule at the time of the country's military dictatorship, milton nascimento's songs are far more than self-referential. they also delight as purely good music.
