"Dubbed a super musician Mazzotti's short career culminated in these 2 spell bounding albums in the mid 70's. Filled with samba, jazz, funk and bossa these long players are the stuff of dreams filled with a mixture of Azymuth, The Meters and Bobby Hutcherson. None the less the originality of Ana's song writing overpowers such similarities to the aforementioned rather she is in a powerhouse league all of her own ingenious making ... A three year gap saw Mazzotti take her debut album back to the studio to have another crack at commercial success. This time the album had a different running order, re-recorded vocals plus the added bonus of a horn trio bringing an added bit of sophistication to proceedings ... Having battled with cancer, she died at the age of 38 leaving behind these 2 albums to be sought after by collectors as cult classics of the period ... A welcome rerelease that again highlights a shockingly underrated artist worthy of the highest praise".

"In 1974, Ana Mazzotti, a young, talented Brazilian musician, enlisted Azymuth keyboardist Roberto Bertrami for her debut recording. Two years later, she brought the master tapes back, rerecorded her vocals, added horns and improved the overall mix, declaring her upgraded album as her actual debut. Bertrami's brilliant solos and deft blending of electric piano, organ and synthesizers give this a decidedly '70s Brazilian-funk sound, complementing Mazzotti's articulate, supple voice ... An exquisite musician and songwriter".
