Amazon.com review:
This was Ana Caram's initial effort for Chesky Records back in 1989. And a wonderful effort it is! Mixing English with Portugese, and singing the music of several composers, ranging from herself to Antonio Carlos Jobim to Carole King, she gives us a thoroughly charming album. Ana's voice has something of a "little girl" quality, but this is no child; she was already past 30.
Chesky Records needs no introduction: prefect technique, sound and engineering. They, along with Reference Recordings, establish the "gold standard" of the recording art. This is one of several Latin Jazz albums they've done, but their catalog ranges from Bach to Blues, and all points in between--and all done to the same high standard.
This superbly enjoyable album whetted our desire for more of the same; we know now that it was only the first of several great listening experiences. Word of warning; Chesky Records are great, but not easy to find. Grab this when you have the chance.
