O’s Notes: Ana has a strong voice packed inside of that petite frame and she projects it well out in from of her band. Her quartet provides ample support led by co-producer Misha Piatigorsky (key, melodica) with Neil Swainson (b), Willard Dyson (d, perc) and Gordon Clements (reeds). Most of the ten selections are songs written, interpreted and arranged by Velinova. We also enjoyed the taste of Latin on “O Bebado E A Equilibrista”, the soft gentle swing of “Baby Bye Bye” and “The Thief”.
