 Rating:  - How is it that I've ........................................never heard of Karryn Allison until just now? I am nearly 60 years old and love love love "musica brasileira" from almost anyone who can pull off a good recording. This CD is just amazing, and I've heard lots of artists try to record these songs. I spent 2 years in Brasil many years ago and loved what I heard so have always loved the music. Karryn has a great voice and I am going to go seek out other things she has done. Great CD!! Rating: - Karrin outdoes the BraziliansI believe I own all of Karrin Allyson's recordings. I also own a lot of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Gilberto Gil, Egberto Gismonti, Laurindo Almeida, et al. So when I ordered this CD from Amazon, I also ordered a Bebel Gilberto recording and one by Morelenbaum2/Sakamoto. I found the Allyson recording, in total, to be the most satisfying of the three. Her tone, energy, skill, and understanding of each of the selection's attributes is unequalled amongst most of her contemporaries. And that goes for not just singers of Brazilian music but the larger category of jazz. In observing Karrin Allyson's growth from her earliest recordings, I'm aware that her choice of bandmates has expanded to keep up. Finally, her adept handling of non-native ...

From "Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane," to "In Blue," to "Wild For You," to "Footprints," and now to "Imagina," about all one can say is that Karrin Allyson is a jazz singer with a straighter-than-straight tone and a voice quality that evokes either sadness or playfulness. How fitting, then, that she performs an "all Bossa Nova" program, as here, and does a program of virtually all Jobim tunes. And like Dee Dee Bridgewater's tremendous "Jai Deux Amours" viz. the French language, Ms. Allyson performs many of these tunes in alternate Portuguese and English translations. This format absolutely works. Her voice is a natural for this style. To mix cultural references, ... Read More: Rating: - One of the best records of Brazilian songs in timesKarryn Allyson is a fantastic singer that faced challenges like her version of Ballads, but the challenge in this CD is far more relevant as she sings in Portuguese like a Brazilian soul and picked some tunes that really surprises us. Very well done! Rating: - Welcome back KarrinAt last an All Brazilian album, even bravely attempt to vocalize one of my favorite Jobim songs:Estrada Do Sol which I believe should always be an instrumental. Karrin's sweet and fragile(in a good way) voice is all over the album. I didn't think much of the last two CDs....so I'd say- Boa Vinda Outra Vez, Karrin! |
