Jazz vocalist, Sylvia Bennett’s performance as she coos tunes from her new CD Songs From The Heart, will bring back a flood of vintage memories, and evoke from within you powerful emotional responses, to some of the best songs ever penned.
CD: Imagina, Songs Of Brasil / Artist: Karrin Allyson / 14 tracks: 1:00:25 / Jazz Vocals
The opening lines of “Outono (Stay,) remind one of the hauntingly beautiful “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina,” from Evita. Singing at first in Portuguese, and then switching to English lyrics, Allyson sings of two lovers who are enjoying the afterglow, and are looking ahead to their future.
