Recorded in 1976, Milton follows closely on the heels of Native Dancer, the album that paired the gifted Brazilian singer-songwriter Milton Nascimento with saxophonist Wayne Shorter and put him squarely in the 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" ("The People").

Nascimento displays his tremendous vocal variety in an album that explores a great range of Brazilian music. African roots dominate "Raça" ("Race"), a song about candomble, a popular Afro-Brazilian religion akin to voodoo, while "Cravo e Canela" ("Clove and Cinnamon"), now a well-known pop tune, gives a spacious solo to Hancock. There is the encantatory poetry of "Saidas e Bandeiras" ("Exits and Flags") 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. Yet they also delight as purely good music.

Original recordings produced by Rob Fraboni. Recorded 1976 at Shangri-La Studios, Malibu, and The Village Recorder, Los Angeles. M. Möhring in Jazzthetik 7 / 00: "Ein großartiges Album von zeitlosem Gehalt. 'Milton', so der Titel, bietet unschlagbares Songwriting, von Nascimento meisterhaft intoniert, sowie Klasse-Soli von Hancock und Shorter."
