Album Review

Broadway veteran Luba Mason was serious when she called her 2004 recording debut Collage — an amalgamation of numerous styles and cover songs, the results were winsome and joyfully schizophrenic. But there's something to be said for focus, and the singer's keen ability to draw powerful seductive emotion from a generally low-key approach is right at home in the sensual world of Brazilian music. The result is a truly sweet and subtle, even krazy collection that marks her true emergence as an artist with a distinctive vibe and character — helped by the fact that she wrote or co-wrote eight of the ten songs. Krazy Love's elegant title track and "From Me to You" set the tone of instant seduction with a gentle groove, while the next tune picks up the percussive pace as she takes listeners for a "Lovely" and whimsical ride. The collection's general flow is exemplified by a sweetly exotic Portuguese piece like "Olhos Nos Olhos" followed by something brisk and whimsical like the ode to her childhood memories, "This House." Mason is joined by a bunch of krazy musical lovers, including well-known Brazilian pianist and keyboardist Renato Neto (who has played with Prince's band), Jimmy Haslip, and guests Hubert Laws (whose flute adds transcendent charm to "This House") and her husband, Rubén Blades, who does an English-Portuguese duet with her on "E com Esse Que Eu Vou." It's a wonderful coming-out party for an artist who's found her kraziness doing the Rio thing.

Customer Reviews

Exquisite! A real find...

Luba Mason was a Broadway performer (Will Rogers' Follies, How to Succeed in Business... Jekyll & Hyde), and a really good one; but in this recording she has avoided the trap that a lot of Broadway singers make in not finding their unique voice beyond the footlights. In this recording Luba has reveals a true jazz artist. Every song is a gem, and some are astonishing in their musical surprises, a rarity these days of corporate music (Luba wrote much of the music also). The musicianship from both singers (including her husband Ruben Blades) and the band is top-notch. If this recording was an LP, I'd have worn it out already.

Nice Album, Great Beat

Great vocals and beat on this album!

Krazy Love

Luba Mason has emerged as a gifted and versatile vocalist. Her feeling for the songs and her interpretation are excellent . Her treatment of the Brazilian Bossa Nova tunes expresses her sensitivity to the music. She swings, she croons and she just simply blows one away with every song. This album is a must for jazz lovers. Luba ROCKS! Butch Gamarra.
