CD Reviews

Very Interesting Brazilian Jazz Made in Japan
Papetti | Mexico City | 06/23/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Yasuko Agawa owns a very sweet and light voice that makes her singing very delightful. Here she sings in Portuguese and very fair English.

And in order to enhance this recording, she managed to have Sergio Mendes as the Producer and Dori Caymmi as Arranger; and the result is absolutely pleasent; especially since many of these cuts are Brazilian classics ranged from people like Edu Lobo to Antonio Carlos Jobim, going through Djavan, Dori Caymmi and many more.

Every single song is a winner and in my opinion; cut number 6: Surrender (English version of Djavan's Azul) is the best one.



Also, check out all the wonderful musicians involved in here:

- Sergio Mendes / Acoustic Piano, Vocals, Percussion, Producer
