O’s Notes: Portuguese vocalist Maria Mendes follows her award winning studio album Close to Me with a live concert recording, Saudade, Color of Love with pianist John Beasley conducting the 30-piece Metropole Orkest. The live performance in Amsterdam offers a spontaneous dimension. The collaboration yields beautiful, original music in a space that affords room for jazz improvisation leading to an impressive engagement. “Quando Eu Era Pequenina”, “Verdes Anos”, and “Meu Pobre Capitão“ are among the best in a vibrant performance.
