O’s Notes: The Blck Madonna is jazz vocalist, producer Ana Hoffman, a Ghanaian American who grew up between the two countries. She fell in love with jazz in college and now presents her debut Between The Lines, a compelling case! Her voice is rich and strong, bringing power into fresh arrangements of jazz classics. “Afro Blue”, “Round Midnight”, and “My Funny Valentine” are more than covers. Hoffman goes deeper to coax her own feelings. We’re awaiting the next chapter, hopefully with some originals.
