Grammy Award nominated vocalist Stacey Kent brings her luminous voice and elegant phrasing to a heartfelt tribute to legendary Brazilian songwriter Antônio Carlos Jobim.
Kent is an American jazz singer in the mould of the greats, with a legion of fans, a host of honours and awards including a Grammy nomination, album sales in excess of two million, more than one billion streams, and Platinum, Double-Gold, and Gold-selling albums that have reached a series of chart-topping positions. Her unique multi-lingual repertoire includes standards, chanson, bossa nova, and originals written by her husband, Jim Tomlinson, with the Nobel Prize-winning author, Kazuo Ishiguro, with whom they have worked since 2006. She has also recorded with Brazilian legends Marcos Valle, Roberto Menescal, Danilo Caymmi, and the celebrated French string quartet, the Quatuor Ébène.
“Stacey Kent…transforms songs into short stories that brim with passion, romance, and wonder. Lean into her muted declarations and Kent can bring the world to you.” (
New Yorker Magazine)
