Vagabundeo Press and Praise

"With a voice sweet, pure and strong, Alexa Weber Morales is poised to ride the Bay Area Latin jazz scene to national recognition. On her new CD, Vagabundeo/Wanderings, she spans a wide spectrum of the music, getting help from ace producer, arranger and trombonist Wayne Wallace."
--San Francisco Chronicle, June 17, 2007

"Morales is a mix of jazzy sweetness (you could imagine her turning out an attractive album of standards) and Latin brightness."

"Multilingual, multi-culti jazz vocalist kicks it out a little farther and a little harder on her second outing. Very much the kind of singer you want to hear more of, more often, Morales is on the money throughout with a jazz/world date that open-eared adults will pass the word on quite easily and quickly."

"Alexa Weber Morales is a San Francisco Bay-area singer whose star is rapidly rising. She sings in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English, and her lush, rangey, sensuous voice reminds me of Basia, another boundary-busting, powerhouse singer who made a huge splash in the early 1990s and has only recently returned. ... Is this jazz with a pop/Latin sensibility, or Latin with a jazz/pop sensibility? In purist circles, 'pop' is a four-letter word, but how crucial is that when music is so high-spirited and rendered with such care, talent, and heart?

Vagabundeo/Wanderings is a good name for this wide-ranging, engaging journey. If Weber Morales ever decides to tackle some jazz standards, she could blow away half the current crop of vocalists. At least."

"Alexa Weber Morales, who has a beautiful voice, certainly shows off her versatility on Vagabundeo. She switches effortlessly between Spanish, Portuguese, French and English and shows plenty of feeling in each language. Since she improvises in spots and has a spontaneous spirit in even the most tightly arranged setting, she is a jazz singer but one very open to many other influences� There is a unity to this set with Morales' vocals being consistently rewarding and enthusiastic. She is a talent who will certainly be heard from often in the future."

"The music is stunning and polished with some great arrangements and dynamic vocals by Alexa. The quad-lingual components will make this CD appealing to a wider audience and will hold their attention from start to finish. Her musical training and experience is well evident in her vocals and the compositions that were selected to grace this work of art."
--Leon Reyes, KVMR 89.5 FM Sacramento/Nevada City, CA

"It's mighty all the way through and airing lots on KMFB. I'm also spinning it on the KZYX world music show. Kudos and wild applause!"
--Liz Helenchild, DJ, KZYX and KMFB, Mendocino/Fort Bragg, CA

"I find her command of Latin idioms completely convincing, entrancing even."
