O’s Notes: Japanese jazz vocalist Yuko Ito has a rich voice that marries well to many genres. She sings in Brazilian Portuguese and English with great tone. The supporting band is strong, notably pianist Helio Alves. There is excellent sax accompaniment on ”El Sei Que Vou Te Amar” and “You And The Night And The Music”, a nice arrangement of R&B classic. “Ohh Child” with guest vocalist Vanessa Falabella, “Besame Mucho”, and “Seduzir” are among the best of the rest.
