Track Listing

This album flows seemlessly and beautifully from Brazilian waltz, samba and bossa to Mexican and Cuban bolero to swing and ballad. The language also changes between English, Portuguese and Spanish. Sally's gorgeous voice is joined by Piero Tucci, a stunning piano player who also adds accordion to this recording, and a great rhythm section of Colin Elliot (double bass) and Phil Johnson (drums). Guest musicians include Shez Sheridan (Spanish guitar), Liz Hanks (cello), Donald Grant (fiddle) and his 10 piece string section on the final dramatic track "Noche de Ronda".

Reviews

08/01/2008 Alan Barnes

"This new album of mainly Latin jazz from Sally Doherty features an inspired choice of material, an excellent band and faultless intonation and taste from Sally herself, sounding equally at home in Portugese, Spanish and English. All the tracks are superbly arranged and produced and the sound quality is exceptional. The singing is not only technically accomplished but very beautiful, and Sally manages to make these songs her own. This release will appeal to a wide spectrum of listeners well beyond the usual jazz fans." Alan Barnes

"Sally Doherty (is) a Sheffield singer transplanted (musically) to Latin America. She invests a bossa nova with deep feeling and girlish freshness, and has some of Stacey’s (Kent) command of pitch, timing and general exquisiteness. But, as Nos e o Mar demonstrates, the chaps in the band can swing out too."
