Birdy Heart / Various - Birdy Heart [CD]

An artist at heart - and in spirit - Do Montebello continues the work she began with Adamah in 2014, with this recording that confirms her immense talents as a jazz vocalist. She sings wonderfully in English, Portuguese and French, delivering poetic Brazilian savours filled with delicacy. Her voice has rare precision, and her composing and performance make her a singer of inestimable value in today's jazz. She's in magni-ficent company too, with the excellent Jaques Morelenbaum and Toninho Horta contributing to this opus, made with some of the best musicians in Brazil.
