O’s Notes: Kristine sings eight Latin vocal tunes on top of Brazilian bossa nova beats. Her band includes co-producer, Paulo Midosi (p), Haroldo Cazes (b, g), Rubinho Moreira (d) and John Carlos Bigoma (sax). The music flows gently especially on “Sweet Sorrow” and “Sasha’s Lullaby”. The tempo accelerates on the bouncy beats of “Burden of Choice” keeping our mood bright. We found ourselves listening to the entire set a second time, enjoying every moment. Kristine’s singing is annunciated well; her style is unique, simple and appealing. She had a hand in writing and producing the session, a very good Brazilian set.
