Crooner

Milton Nascimento

A sophisticated pivot to the Great American and Brazilian Songbooks. Milton trades his soaring falsetto for a warm, grounded croon backed by lush big band arrangements.

1999 · Wea Music

A sophisticated, warm-hearted embrace of classic romanticism and vocal elegance.

Moments Worth Listening For

The surprising transformation of Michael Jackson's Beat It into a sophisticated, mid-tempo jazz arrangement.

The deep, resonant baritone delivery on Only You that strips away the kitsch of the original for pure romance.

The rhythmic interplay of the brass section during the upbeat climax of Mas que nada.
