Originally released in 1969, Courage marks the international debut of Milton Nascimento, one of Brazil’s most singular and influential voices. Recorded at the legendary Van Gelder Studio and produced by Creed Taylor for A&M/CTI, the album weaves together Brazilian popular music (MPB), bossa nova, and jazz, creating a lush and emotive soundscape.
Arranged by Eumir Deodato and featuring jazz great Herbie Hancock on piano, Courage is a showcase for Nascimento’s soaring, expressive vocals and poetic songwriting. The album includes enduring classics such as “Bridges (Travessia),” “Vera Cruz,” “Catavento,” and “Canção do Sal,” each blending Brazilian lyricism with sophisticated jazz arrangements.
Widely acclaimed as a masterpiece-AllMusic calls it “A gorgeously executed tour through his early songs… his best record, period”-Courage stands as a timeless introduction to Nascimento’s artistry and a landmark in the fusion of Brazilian music and American jazz.
