Album review by G. Sawaged ~amazon.com
Anyone who loves Brazilian music, Jobim, jazz and bossa nova, cannot fail but love this album. Eliane’s voice is beautiful and she sings without straining, her voice is but a breath of air, and is so relaxing. Her piano playing is second to none and the other musicians on this album are just as brilliant… Michael Brecker, Oscar Castro-Neves, Marc Johnson, Paulo Braga and Cafe.
This is an album that has the ability to transport you to a warm Brazilian beach, even in the midst of a cold Canadian winter. Just put it on, close your eyes, and get ready for the sun!
