Jazzinho, for those not familiar with the Portuguese language structure, is a hybrid word deriving from Jazz and the Portuguese suffix, “-inho,” which denotes small.
The force behind Jazzinho is Lisbon native Guida de Palma. With a unique voice full of sensuality and strength, de Palma can soar in high notes just as easily as when she is singing Bossa Nova tunes. At times she will make you think you are listening to Flora Purim or even the soul sounds of The Emotions. Nevertheless, she claims as her major influences names such as Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Joyce, Chico Buarque, Marcos Valle, Gilberto Gil, Elis Regina, Azymuth and Ed Motta. Of course she does not leave behind talents from her native Portugal: Mariza and Afonso and Kyao. She says she is into many styles and does not limit herself to a very narrow genre. That, in essence, in Jazzinho, a bouncy and captivating release featuring de Palma’s awesome vocals and swing.
The band backing up de Palma’s fine vocals includes her song collaborators Christian Franck (guitar), Michele Chiavarini (bass, drums, percussion, guitar, keyboards), Angilley (keyboards, accordion) as well as more than a dozen guest artists playing flutes, saxes, trombone, trumpet, flugelhorn. De Palma sings in Portuguese and English, and at times she masterfully switches back and forth between the two languages without creating any sharp corners. To the listener, it is all music, danceable music, where language is no barrier whatsoever. Of course, if you are intrigued by what she is singing, you can take out the liner notes booklet and follow the lyrics.
