Few American jazz singers have had as long and fruitful a relationship with Brazilian music as Karrin Allyson. Her early albums included such classics as “Corcovado” and “One Note Samba”; her 1999 recording From Paris to Rio split the difference between songs from those musical cities; 2008’s Imagina: Songs of Brazil upped the ante on Rio, and now here’s another all-Brazilian outing, A Kiss for Brazil, featuring the great Bahian singer-guitarist Rosa Passos on two songs.

A Kiss for Brazil includes Jobim’s “Antigua” and songs by other Brazilian notables including Djavan (“Flor de Lis”), Ivan Lins (“The Island”), and Sergio Mendes (“So Many Stars”), with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman on the latter two tunes. “This music is just so transporting,” Allyson says. “It contains so much beauty. We’re hopeful we can bring more people into this world and share its sense of hope.”
