We saw many albums with the music from Brazil performed by non-Brazilian artists and now it is the time of making the opposite direction showing an album performed by a Brazilian artist with a repertoire of American standards. I think nobody can do it better than Leny Andrade.

This is Leny Andrade – Embreceable You (1991), for Som Livre, Leny Andrade delivers American Standards backed by a Bossa Nova combo featuring Joao Carlos Coutinho (piano, keyboards), Lucio Nascimento (bass), Adriano de Oliveira (drums) and Angelo Verploegen (flugelhorn).
