A Time For Love is Charito's first all standards album with
a selection of songs that are close to her heart, songs that have been a part of her years
of growing and learning as an artist. Charito,
often dubbed a jazz queen in Japan, has made several creative and challenging albums but
never before released an album as this one.This, she feels, is the chance she has been
waiting for in the past that would enable her to share the intimacy with her listeners.
Featuring James Gelfand on
piano, Jean-Pierre Zanella on sax, Magella Cormier on drums and Sylvain Gagnon
on bass. |
