David GARRETT

Astrud GILBERTO
For my ears, the most sensuous voice to ever come out of Brazil. She hit her international peak with ‘Girl From Ipanema,’ but continued for decades putting out great albums. She is the wife of João and mother of Bebél, two more amazing talents from the Bossa Nova scene.

Patty GRIFFIN
Some lovely divine inspiration led me to hear Patty’s music. I have to say that I’m floored, not only by her voice, but by the solid songwriting (which is not normally my forte, by the way) which she has consistently shown throughout her albums (as I’ve had the pleasure of downloading most of her back catalog recently).
