Sensitive understatements are delivered by the crystal toned vocalist Maria Puga Lareo on this seductively framed mix of standards and Brasilia. She’s backed by a large and romantic ensemble that includes the likes of Bob Sheppard/wwinds, Josh Nelson/p-key, Alex Acuna/perc, Christian Euman/dr, Mike Valerio/b and Leo Amuedo/g along with an orchestra conducted by Nan Schwartz. Her delicate vibrato draws you into pieces like “Make Someone Happy” and the lithe “The Song Is You”, while she shows her funky side around Valerios’ electric bass and Sheppard’s tenor on “At The End Of The Night”. She wafts through the strings of “Depois De Tanto Tempo” and looks good in Amuedo’s nylon strings for “Spring” , saving the best for last on an intimate duet with Nelson on a l ovely “Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar”.
