5.0 out of 5 stars Warm and bright, December 14, 2002

This review is from: Breath of Brazil (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful cd, warm and bright as Brazil on a sunny day. M's Brackeen's piano playing is perfectly matched by her accompanists (Eddie Gomez, Duduka Da Foneseca and Waltinho Anastacio) and is the perfect anidote for dreary winter days. Put this on, brew yourself a good cup of coffee (or tea if you prefer) and enjoy this wonderful music. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Brazilian Jazz Piano Album !!!!!!, December 7, 2001

Joanne is excellent in this recording, her piano sounds incredible and she's found a great way to express what Brazilian Jazz is all about. Her piano performance falls right between Tania Maria's and Eliane Elias' styles; is just great. There's only one "but" though, there are some "extensive" bass guitar solos that depreciate your appreciation of the melodies. However, it's a great album you should not let pass by, purchase it now !!!!!!
