Awesome Brazilian Jazz Vocalist

(5 out of 5 stars)
"This 2008 CD, is Paula Morelenbaum's sophmore album, and a great one.
Here she pays homage primarily to several Brazilian songwriters from several decades ago, including George and Ira Gershwin as well, performing their songs with a fantastic Brazilian Jazz tone; giving new life to these great old songs.
Here Paula sings beautifully songs in Portuguese, English and a bit of Spanish; expanding her career big time.
Also, it's necessary to mention all of her guests for this amazing CD:
- Paula Morelenbaum / Vocals, Production
- Jacques Morelenbaum / Cello
- Joao Donato / Acoustic Piano
- Marcos Valle / Vocals, Fender Rhodes
- Leo Gandelman / Saxs, Flute, Arrangements, Production

- Lula Galvao / Acoustic Guitar
- Antonio Pinto / Bass
- Mauricio Alves / Percussion
- Joao Parahyba / Percussion
- Sidinho / Percussion

and many, many more.
A very recommendable CD for all fans of Brazilian Jazz, Paula Morelenbaum, and Brazilian singers in general.
*P.S. If you find the Japanese version, you'll enjoy an extra track of Manha de Carnaval."
