Notes from the world of latin jazz & Brazilian singer-songwriter Alexa Weber Morales
She is 13 years old, from Montreal. I had heard her version of Ella Fitzgerald's Airmail Special on the radio and on the new tribute CD We All Love Ella. I had no idea she was 12 when she recorded that.

I sing in four languages, crossing borders with acoustic jazz, boleros, salsa and samba. I'm a songwriter, mother, recovering magazine editor, triathlete and former auto mechanic.
Vagabundeo (Patois Records, 2007; KOCH distribution). Produced by triple Grammy nominee Wayne Wallace. Lush arrangements wander through the jungles of samba (Ave Rara), salsa (El Cantante and Habanera), afro-funk and an a capella ballad (Calling You, feat. Kenny Washington and Bryan Dyer of SoVoSo).
