Brava, quanto affascinante, la pianista cantante di origine brasiliana, ma affermata jazzista a livello mondiale, propone un album in omaggio al genio di Chet Baker. Lo rilegge con il suo raffinato stile bossa nova jazz, aiutata dai fidi Steve Cardenas, Rafael Barata e Victor Lewis, Marivaldo dos Santos e da suo marito, il bassista Marc Johnson. Tra gli ospiti Randy Brecker alla tromba ed il chitarrista Oscar Castro-Neves, considerato una delle figure fondamentali nell'ambito della bossa nova.
Recorded and mixed in New York. Recorded from March 6 to March 14 1999 at System Two Studio, Brooklyn.
Mastered and edited by Alan Tucker and Ray Barretto at Foot Hill Digital Studio.
