Three-time Grammy nominee LUCIANA SOUZA was raised in São Paulo, Brazil, where she grew up in a family of Bossa Nova composers. A respected composer and vocalist, she defies categories bringing her outstanding musicianship and unique sound to any project. The New York Times has called her "an impressive singer" and a "quite serious composer". Whether performing works by Osvaldo Golijov and Manuel de Falla, singing with the big bands with Maria Schneider and Kenny Wheeler, or performing in small jazz groups, Souza brings something to the music that has been called "transcendental."

Jul 7, 2008 - Luciana Souza has done a wonderful job on this album. If you appreciate Joni Mitchell's music, James Taylor, hints of C,S,N & Y... you will like this album (yeah, I'm old, I call them albums). Luciana takes the roots of LA bossa nova and applies them, brilliantly, to a variety of melodies easily recognized by the North American listener. Luciana... well done.
