Singer Laura Fygi is in excellent form on this set of bossa novas.
Due to the sweetening of a string section and some safe arrangements, the music is quite accessible, if not too challenging.
Fygi's voice is lovely and she could excel in a much more sparse setting in the future if given the opportunity.
She is ably assisted by a variety of guests, including appearances by Toots Thielemans, Clark Terry, and singer Michael Franks; the latter contributed two songs and shares a vocal duet with Fygi on "Tell Me All About It." An enjoyable listen.
