ARUGULA 
CAROL BACH-Y-RITA/Minha Casa-My House: A Brazilian art chick (that doesn't feel like an art chick) with a well stamped passport and a brain that's firing on both lobes, Bach-y-rita brings a new perspective to decades old songs that haven't been beaten to death that strips them of their baggage and allows for them to be presented in a new light that doesn't make you feel like the vocalist doesn't understand the song. With a crack band behind her firing on all cylinders, this is a well woven date that feels like Brazilian jazz with a little bit of so much more added to the mix. Tasty stuff for jazzbos and armchair travelers looking for that something new with something extra.
