Luciana Souza: The New Bossa Nova
by AAJ Italy Staff
Luciana Souza è una cantante brasiliana con una voce molto raffinata che sa muovere in maniera convincente fra bossa nova, jazz e pop contemporaneo. Questo album dal titolo un po’ banale (probabilmente ammiccante a The New Standards di Herbie Hancock) la vede affiancata da un cast stellare di jazzisti, per un repertorio di derivazione pop che ...
Luciana Souza: The Voice of the New Bossa Nova
by Joao Moreira dos Santos
Is Luciana Souza on the verge of reinventing bossa nova? A careful look at The New Bossa Nova (Verve, 2007), may well provide the answer to this question, as the Brazilian-born singer aims to present classic pop tunes with a bossa nova feeling. It's a kind of whispering, Luciana says; a whispering in a loud world.
Luciana Souza: The New Bossa Nova
by John Kelman
When pianist Herbie Hancock released The New Standard (Verve, 1996)--an album of radically reworked pop tunes by artists ranging from Peter Gabriel to Prince--it wasn't exactly revolutionary, but it was the first time a major jazz artist had devoted an entire album to contemporary popular song. Singer Luciana Souza may not be as significant an artist--yet--as ...

Luciana Souza: Duos II
by Brandt Reiter
This followup to singer Luciana Souza's 2002 Grammy-nominated Brazilian Duos charts much the same territory: it's a lilting, luscious record of acoustic Brazilian song interpreted through guitar and voice duets--and, if anything, it's even better than its excellent predecessor. Guitarists Romero Lubambo and Marco Pereira return from the previous project, appearing on five and three cuts, ...
Luciana Souza: Duos II
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
Luciana Souza's first recording of voice/guitar duets (Brazilian Duos, Suunyside 2002), was nominated for a Grammy. Her latest, Duos II, is similar in format and content; I checked my earlier review and a few glowing assessments still apply--words like “wit," “intelligence," “swing," and “poignancy." The music is still intimate and immediate (it's live), the liners again ...
