Singers of jazz homage Brazil...

Jane Monheit shows to good Portuguese and song of Ivan Lins.
The relation of love between the jazz and the Brazilian music is old, that still today of the samples of that namoro is exactly firm and that the sorts continue if mixing. Test of this is the albums recently launched by the North American Jane Monheit and the Canadian Diana Krall, both bringing compositions of names consecrated of the bossa-new and the MPB.

A trip to Brazil in 2007 was what record inspired Diana Krall to dedicate to its 12º to the bossa-new - also it was this way again in the passed year, singing in homage to the anniversary of 50 years of the musical sort and recording a DVD, intitled “Live in River”, that it is foreseen to leave in May.
The record of Diana Krall gained the name of “Quiet nights”, heading in English for “Corcovado”, and brings in encarte a great photo of Rio De Janeiro. The repertoire makes one mix of classics of the jazz, as “Where or when”, celebrity in the voice of Frank Sinatra, with songs of Tone Jobim, as “Girl of Ipanema”, that it gained adaptation and it turned “The boy from Ipanema”, and” This its look ", sung in a macarrônico Portuguese. Beyond, clearly, of the song that of the name to the COMPACT DISC.

The record still brings “Only nice”, version in English of “Samba of summer”, signed for the Marcos brothers and Pablo Sergio Valle. E counts on the participation of the arranjador Claus Ogerman, that worked in such a way with Sinatra how much with Jobim.
Already Jane Monheit, in “The lovers, the dreamers and me”, basically follows the same prescription, only that instead of Tone Jobim, Ivan Lins sings, composer of who is fan since always and whose musics have the old habit to record. While it supports its repertoire of jazz with “Get out of town”, of Cole Porter, it brings a version in English of “Perhaps”, of Lins.

The excellent Portuguese of the singer - of skillful voice it only can be heard some bands later, in “The first time” (of Bide and Armando Marçal), in which it risks itself in a likeable samba. In 2007, the singer already had launched a record with strong Brazilian influences, showing partnerships with Sergio Mendes and Ivan Lins, beyond presenting a song of Jobim, “Only had of being with you”.
The surprise of this its new record is on account of the opening music, “Like to star”, composed for Corinne Bailey Rae, celebrity for hit “Put your records on”.
