"Caminhos Cruzados is the Portugese expression for "crossing roads", which aptly describes this CD. Angelita Li, a jazz singer from Hong Kong, collaborated with Hans Ulrich, a Danish saxophone player and Eugene Pao, a Hong Kong jazz guitarist and performed Brazilian flavoured music. There are fresh interpretation of pop songs like Carpenters' "Close to you" and Carole King's "So far away", as well as 4 Portugese songs. Of particular note is "Uma noite", which originally is an extremely popular Japanese song and now has Portugese lyrics. Angelita has an excellent voice and her singing is versatile. Definitely not to be missed."
