Little known in North America, Leila Pinheiro is one of the most artful and emotive singers I've ever encountered. I have listened to this CD hundreds of times and keep coming back to it. Strictly speaking, this isn't jazz, but as someone whose taste runs to the great jazz singers - Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald Betty Carter - I love this record. It doesn't sound like any of the people above, of course. But like all of the people above, Leila tells you who she is as she sings. A truly beautiful record! I've played it for many people, with differing musical sensibilities, and everyone loves it. It's the rare case of a work that has very broad appeal without compromises of any kind.
