"Lisa owns perhaps one of the best female's voice singing Bossa Nova & Brazilian Jazz and by far. And if you don't believe it, just purchase this album and witness it yourself. I also admire other Brazilian singers such as Elis,Ana,Leila,Rosa, Astrud etc. etc., but the pitch,phrasing,taste,performance and interpretation of Lisa's are peerless: and if on top of that you add the contirbution of a Bossa Nova Monster like Joao Donato, this album is nothing but a bliss and a bless to your ears; the best songs to my opinion: Minha Saudade & Quem Diz que Sabe. Please do yourself a big favor and purchase this album; you won't ever regret it !!!!!."

I also love Lisa Ono

"Lisa Ono is fabulous. From the opening track its like sitting on warm beach with a pina colada, pure relaxation. She can sing with any of the great Brazilian singers. Her voice is outstanding, the song selection great and the musicianship top notch. I particularly like the title track and Nao Tem Nada Nao, which I know from Marcos Valle's version. I was very happy to hear that. As usual I could deal without some of the string arrangements but will put up with it just to hear her gorgeous voice. She is probably my favorite "new" artist, new to me that is, having discovered her within the past year or so. Too bad her discs are hard to find in the US. I hope she would come to the US and play Yoshi's on Oakland, a Japanese club no less!"

Hot...and Mellow!

"I've visited countries where the local rhythm is the samba and the bossa nova, and Lisa Ono is definitely world-class. If you're a fan of this genre, or looking for music to relax to, start with this CD. Once you're hooked, you'll definitely want to get her other compilations as well!"
