Editorial Reviews

Irene's entrancing voice makes every track a holiday pill with a dollop of sunshine in the core. These sambas and rumbas are the ideal soundtrack for this summers' round of barbecues and garden parties, guaranteed to lift the gloomy mood set by the current recession. The album has been excellently recorded, it has a glowing warm-hearted sound that will shine on any type of sound system - of course, you could be greedy and hog it all for yourself on your iPod, but that would be just plain rude. A Song Of You is an album to be savoured by all and enjoyed all year around. You would really need to be a mean hearted curmudgeon to not like this album. Extremely highly recommended.

Irene & Her Latin Jazz Band offer up smooth and relaxing, Brazilian-influenced music from Southern California on their new release A SONG OF YOU featuring world-class musicianship from the likes of Rique Pantoja on piano. Rique has worked with some of the world's biggest pop stars and jazz legends including Chet Baker, Lee Ritenour, Ivan Lins and Carlos Santana. Irene features Scott Martin on sax and flute; Scott has performed with Pancho Sanchez for over 13 years... Frank Zottoli, a veteran of the Stan Getz Trio is on piano and vocals and Marco Túlio plays acoustic guitar who Flora Purim called one of the most promising musicians of the new generation of Brazilians. The very talented Irene sings in English, French, Spanish and Portugese. You will love Irene & Her Latin Jazz Band's A SONG OF YOU... jammed full with 14 "s'wonderful" tracks from stellar originals to classics from Jobim, Gilberto and the Gershwins.
