O’s Notes: Diane is performing Live in Tokyo on front of a Japanese trio featuring Kiyoshi Morita (p), Mashiko Taniguchi (b) and Nobuhiko Yamashita (d). She sings a dozen well chosen classics including a few of Jobim’s bossa novas. Hubka has a wonderful time and her enthusiasm spills into the audience. She does an excellent job on “Get Out of Town” and “One Note Samba”. The unique arrangements in the live setting make this one shout.
