Grammy-nominated jazz singer Karrin Allyson is of
the generation for whom Bonnie Raitt and Joni
Mitchell are as influential as Mose Allison and
Abbey Lincoln. Allyson can scat-sing with the best
of them but always remembers to invest herself in a
song's meaning. IMAGINA is something of a departure
for her, as it's all songs from Brazil sung in
Portuguese and English. While some are established
hits ("Desafinado"), many may be new to
non-Brazilian audiences. Ace jazz vibraphonist
Steve Nelson is part of this disc's triumph, his
bright, brittle tone serving as a wonderful
compliment to Allyson's skillful singing.
