CD Reviews

Wonderful interpretations of straight-ahead & Brazilian jazz
Joshua Goldstein | Amherst, MA USA | 05/08/1998
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In a world of cliches, jazz vocalist Maija (pronounced "Maya") gives us a refreshing and always-surprising mix of straight-ahead and Brazilian tunes, alternately upbeat and lyrical. Her talented voice has the backing of tight arrangements and able musicians including appearances by guitarist Charlie Byrd and trumpeter Claudio Roditi. As in her first CD (Before We Lose Tomorrow), Maija brings a unique originality to her interpretations. Notable tracks include the haunting "Sea of Stars," her fast-paced "A Sleepin' Bee," and her own composition "In Another Lifetime." From Reuben Jackson's liner notes: "A wondrous mix of sublime yearning and bracing originality ... bursting with lyricism and sensuality." A must for serious lovers of jazz."
