Cool

"For five decades she's reigned as Brazil's preeminent jazz vocalist, known nationwide by just her first name, and for almost half her career she's resisted offers to craft an album of American standards ... [Realizing] that such classics could be made her own if she simply figured out how to "dress them differently" (...), indeed she does [that] throughout Cool, imaginatively incorporating Latin accents with consistent, if not absolute, success. Accompanying herself per usual - Moreno's dazzling guitar work is as impressive as her sparkling vocals - and shaping all the arrangements, she is joined by a top-drawer trio of her countrymen".

"De, som nåede at fange Joyce Moreno sidst hun gæstede Danmark vil huske, at hun spillede en række standards arrangeret til at passe ind i den raffinerede brasser-rytmik og -harmonik. Her er så indspilningen af 12 klassikere samt en enkelt original (...), fortolket med fornøden respekt og aldrig "cheesy" eller fortænkt. Med sin sædvanligt formidabelt spillende gruppe omkring sig kan Joyce Moreno nærmest gøre hvad hun vil; de følger hende i et og alt. Der bliver dog ikke taget flere chancer end de flot udtænkte ny-arrangementer kan bære. Alt er gjort originalt og smagfuldt".
