CD Reviews

A true jazz stylist

08/26/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Koorax is a true jazz stylist. People cannot compare her with the typical Brazilian singers rooted in samba or folk music. This superb classically trained songstress, gifted with a stunning vocal range, was influenced by ballad masters such as Shirley Horn and Carmen McRae. She applies her tremendous musical knowledge to all the tracks on Serenade In Blue, giving us some precious singing lessons in tracks like Bonita, The Shadow of Your Smile, and the Glenn Miller title song. Soon she will become a BIG jazz star in the USA. It is just a matter of time, folks..."

Wonderful singer

08/04/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Superb album by the best Brazilian jazz singer ever. Period.
Sumptuous arrangements and outstanding performances by Deodato, Azymuth, Marcos Valle, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Jay Berliner, Kevin Jasper, Dom Um Romao, Nelson Angelo and countless other Brazilian greats. This woman deserves to receive international recognition, specially in USA, where Down Beat readers already voted her one of the top jazz singers in 2000. Forget about Jane Monheit or Norah Jones. Koorax is the best."

Charming and sensuous vocals in a jazz singing lesson!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's a superb album, and Ithamara sounds wonderful. With her smart, mostly medium-tempo CD, she shows her class: the flexible, warm, four-octave voice fascinates the listener in each track. She finds new ways of doing classic jazz songs, making each one come alive again with a most efervescent style and approach. Ithamara may come to the edge, but never goes over. Rio's sensuous, caressing influence asserts itself. The opening track, "Bonita", is charming and elegant. My favorite jazz-oriented Brazilian singer ever!"
