You have to step carefully around the ‘80s releases of some artists—tastes changed, and big hair and tacky synths took over. But Chico Buarque somehow bucked the trend, turning back to tradition in a big—and very successful—way. These recordings tread lightly through jazz and samba, finding the genres' innate timelessness, while Buarque sounds as relaxed as he ever has.
