Great Review in Cadence Magazine!
Got a nice surprise this morning when tearsheets arrived from the November 2005 Cadence Magazine with the following review of Jazzmérica, which they termed "Latin Jazz [that] provides something different, something new, and a lively session with a contemporary nature":
“Alexa Weber Morales sings with a dynamic force. … Morales straddles the fence between established musical tradition and improvisation. She overdubs her own voice to provide backup singers and invites a multitude of percussion artists for a stirring arrangement of ‘All Blues.’ She sings ‘Autumn Leaves’ in French with a lovely ballad accompaniment. She delivers Clare Fischer’s ‘Morning’ brightly in Spanish with a cha-cha texture that puts a smile on your face. The lyrics are her own. …While her eclectic mixture of musical arrangements done in several languages appeals to a broad audience, it also proves that she’s proficient in each. Morales sells her ballads with deep affection, rides her street sambas joyfully, and digs into Jazz and Blues with heartfelt emotion.”
