quite good. First few tracks a bit subdued. Better when she belts it out. The last song about the sick old husband was sort of upsetting. I like Voice of Africa better but this did inspire me to listen to it again

It was perfectly fine. Felt like background music, though. I don't know Portuguese.

Nina rocks. Glad I heard this one

I own and had listened before but gave me a new appreciation how cool jazz differs from bebop. It's a blend of chill and energy. A good complement to a rainy commute. Will listen again.

Hey, it ain’t jazz though released by Blue Note. Reminds me of some Cuban traditional music. But in the end I found it quite haunting, and also amused by the number that sounds like Sabu’s band is trying to teach someone Spanish.

Found it a bit anodyne. Trying out the Dollar Brand recording instead

Pretty brilliant. Solid then adds something to kick it over the top. Love the horns.

A few decent songs and I wouldn’t confuse it with anything else, but it’s not the best part of jazz and don’t get me started on the r and/or b.

Misclassified -- this isn't jazz! What grabs me is mostly the voice rather than the songwriting. Though I enjoyed listening to her first album, Dusty in Memphis is much stronger, with unforgettable songs. Note: The album in Spotify appears to have a very different tracklisting, try YouTube or purchase for the original UK release.

Tuneless and the vox were boring.

Would listen again. The Chisa years comp was good also

Dug it if you got time. Liked it better than the band’s first album. Jazz? Hmmmm. Might listen again.

It's nice to "put on" but listened to about 1/3 of it & can't call it striking or essential (not enough to be "tango's revenge!). PS. Yet again, this ain't jazz, which was the project I requested.

Nice Latin Jazz. It didn't get my attention especially but listened to it when I was working.

Beautiful voice and orchestration is nice, but I am just not sure that this era of Brazilian pop jazz is resonating with me that much.

Best Dusty. Powerful voice & songwriting as I have enjoyed many times. IYKYK. But again, is it jazz? It came up in my jazz project.

Very enjoyable. Knew it before as 1 of the few jazz albums I own. Modal = mo melody
