Digging deep into Paulinho da Viola's catalog proves at least one thing: this man made few (if any) missteps. He finds the jazz and pathos inside what is, for many, just party music—and he does it with a relaxed, quiet voice and a ringing cavaquinho. This is the sound of ‘30s Rio, samba that speaks to the head, heart, and hips. “There's no rush,” these songs seem to say. “Samba is eternal.”
