O’s Notes: Tetel has a seductive voice that bodes well on these romantic, blues tunes. Accompaniment comes from arranger Daniel Grajew (p), Nilton Leonarde (b), Richard Fermino (sax,t, tb) and Emilio Martins (d). Di Babuya also plays violin and does a fine job on “All And More” and adding a taste of Brazil on “Vocé”. The music and lyrics were composed by Marcela Sarudiansky. Tetel is the star, with convincing, passionate renditions from start to finish.
