“Laura Albanese conseguiu nos transportar ao Rio de Janeiro e outras partes do mundo com sua voz e arranjo bossa nova- jazz. Ela nos fez sentir saudades na faixa Meditação e um gostinho de samba em Samba do avião. Um álbum regado de suavidade e delicadeza.”
Eliana Cordélia de Caires
Review by Stefano Orlandi
Questo cd è una bella sorpresa, anche per non appassionati di jazz.
E' un piacevole viaggio musicale attraverso il jazz, si, ma anche swing, samba, bossanova condito pure da una digressione "Beatlesiana".
Si parte con atmosfere che ci portano a Copacabana con la morbida Flor de Lis. Complimenti per la pronuncia del portoghese e per l'esecuzione vocale che si conclude con la classica settima più tipica della Bossanova.
My Inspiration
I have always loved Music, any kind. Music marks most of the memorable times and journeys of my life and also helped me out during tough times. Classical Music and Opera and Neapolitan songs are the soundtrack of my childhood in Italy. The uplifting and optimistic sound of Balkan and Gypsy music accompanied me during my long stay in Belgrade.
Listening to Carlos Gardel songs while in Buenos Aires made me closer and fond of Tango gloomy songs and while in Brazil I approached Bossanova tunes and Brazilian rhythms.
