Old Classics Come to Life with Maria's Sensuous Vocals
author: RadioIndy“Maria Manna” is a wonderful display of Maria's sensuous vocals on some great standards. This is a gentle and versatile presentation of old standards. Using variety of tempo and interpretation with the songs of a simpler age gives this CD a special quality. Maria's vocal talents shine through on the CD, and are nicely accompanied by exceptional back-up musicians. The piano and sax interlude on “Candy” add much to the mood of moonlight and flowers. The upbeat and syncopated jazz style of “Bye Bye Blackbird” nicely accentuates the talent of this remarkable vocalist and the accompanying musicians. From jazz, to the Latin rhythms and sensual love songs displayed on this CD, the musical variety makes the CD more interesting from a listener's perspective, and demonstrates the impressive flexibility and versatility of Maria's vocals. If you enjoy listening to beautiful renditions of old classics on a romantic evening, this is a perfect CD to add to your collection.
