Blue Bossa Is A Delight

"Ana Caram's vocals bear an eeire remsemblance to 60s Brazilian superstar Astrid Gilberto, but I can't hold that against her. Ana's plaintive whispering vocals are well suited to David Chesky's sparse production values. This CD is retrograde in the sense that it revisits the wonderful 60's fusion of samba and cool jazz. Now, at last, I can take my classic Getz/Gilberto CD off the turntable and replace it with the swaying samba of this talented artist. I have a feeling this one's going to stay on my turntable a long, long time. Hats off to Chesky Records for bringing us another treasure."

Ana Caram is a Delight!

"In my search for various recordings of 'Blue Bossa' I was very fortunate to come across this terrific CD. While Ana Caram will be compared to the great Astrud Gilberto, she has an even mellower approach and somewhat smoother delivery which is so perfectly suited to the sounds of this music. If you enjoy Bossa Nova, you will surely want to add this to your collection! She's a gem!"

Another Gem..........

"Ana, in partnership with Chesky Records, has been charming us for better than 15 years now, and this is one of her best. With a couple of exceptions, these are not songs you already know; this is Latin Jazz, done to perfection. A captivating voice, a mixture of English and Portugese in a combination that always seems just right, and great instrumental back-up; that makes a Winner, with a capital W.



Once again, Chesky does it right. Then again, they do everything right; Bach to Bossa Nova, all perfect. A pretty girl, who sings wonderfully, great music, and the very finest in recorded sound. Nuff said."
