IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING-WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR (SE UMA ESTRELA APARECER) 13. SILENT NIGHT LISA'S SEVENTEENTH ALBUM. It doesn't snow in Brazil but it does in a lot of other places in the world, which makes the idea of a bossa nova holiday album a good idea. Boas Festas is a lovely "winter bossa" collection of original songs and fresh arrangements of classic Christmas carols, sung in Portuguese and English. Highlights include Winter Wonderland (arranged by Steve Sacks); Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow (with Paulo Moura on clarinet); Caroling, Caroling, and Um Anjo Do Ceu. A wonderful and original recording. Great for wherever you happen to be this Christmas - whether by the fireplace or by the beach! See below for additional song credits |
