Milagre

"Maucha Adnet's third album as a leader (...) pairs her with longtime collaborator Helio Alves and lets the duets speak for themselves. "Milagre" presents a jazz vocalist at the height of her powers supported by a superlative soloist and encouraging accompanist. The two seem at home together, with Adnet's deep alto dancing lightly over Alves' precise rubato rhythms ... Adnet picked up her innate understanding of the music while touring with Jobim for more than a decade, and her close study and countless performances are stamped on each tune ... They seem to work best at a fast clip of a tempo, and the disc is full of uptempo, danceable music, but ballads like "Desafinada" are also beautiful in their slower pace".
