Nura's music is a real treat! I was amazed at the versatility and range within the compositions, the musicians and Nura's vocals. It's like getting a whole bunch of cd's all in one. I highly recommend this music to everyone.

Being a musician myself, I was blown away with the percussion by Luis Conte and the drumming of Randy Cooke on this album. Stuart Steinhart tops off the rythme section with really creative and amazing bass playing as well. Nura's vocals taught me just how awesome the voice can be. This is a musicians delight!!!

Don't let this album go by!! To my ears, it's beyond jazz....it's got latin,R&B,urban and pop, let alone world influences. Totally dig this music all the way 'round!!!!
THIS IS A VOCALIST WORTH HEARING AND SEEING!!! If you're looking for versatility and range with elements of world fusion/jazz ....this is it!!!
Nura is instantly recognizable as soon as you hear her. Her sound is so unique and incredibly beautiful. I love her music and hope to hear a lot more from her.
