Kevyn Lettau -(1990) - Whenever Your Heart Wants to Sing

[@BobBrugioni-gx5cx]

I LOVE HER SHE'S SO AWESOME!!

[@KrystofDreamJourney]

I first bought this album in 1991 in Miami. I was playing piano with a jazz quartet on the cruise ships (Royal Caribbean), saving every penny for Berklee to study jazz piano. I've transcribed note-by-note the entire album !! Learned bunch of things, that are part of my own musical language to this day... Incredible work Kevyn !! Timeless compositions, the overall vibe, musicianship, and your heavenly vocal work (I Get A Kick Out Of You is simply breathtaking !!). At that time I was also studying Billy Child's approach (He plays piano here on this song). I never had a chance to perform these songs with anyone, although sometimes I put the album on and play along just for myself... Wish you came to Florida to perform one day.

Muy bonita canción, con todo el sentimiento, también la de "Tahiti Nui Obi" está super genial, fueron presentados aquí en México por Jazz FM, 104.1 en 1991.

Hola amigo, si, es bonita de los primeros éxitos de la cantante cuando empezó a enamorarnos con su voz y sus temas. Un abrazo

[@paulab9418]

Love her: The whole package-lyrics, voice- musicians. She is right up there with Michael Franks on my list.

[@dotz2ro]

Good election both of them

This woman taught me so much, by proxy, for my short-lived career as a singer. Hope uploads to this site, here covers of "Forever Lover and Friends" (by Dori Caymi) and "Retrato em Branco e Preto" .. my two favorites that she covered

[@5degree]

Thanks for posting this. I forgot I had this on cassette. Goin way back.

[@TZKeyz]

I love this song as well as your other work. This is the song that caught my ear. WRVR in NYC put this in rotation and that is where I heard it. I had the pleasure of seeing you perform live at S.O.B.'s in NYC, the show was amazing, and you're one of those artists that is even greater LIVE!.

[@bf0rpd]

Thanks for posting! Would you also post Shooting from the stars (from the same CD)? Much appreciated!

[@Thin.disguise]

That is one fine tune.. i play it regularly on my phone and let the whole neighbourhood hear it.. lol

[@dotz2ro]

Hola! aqui en España habia un programa tambien fantastico, El Pais de los Sueños, aqui conocí esta fantastica musica. Este tema es fuera de serie. Suena a Dori Caymmi, aunque no estoy seguro de si es de él, otro gran creador. Voy a oir el tema que me dices. Saludos.

[@zimzoomit]

No, I never met her or attended any of her concerts or performances. I would have liked to, though. But I have most of her CDs and learned from them..that's why I said "by proxy" .. I felt her spirit clearly..was clear like a bell

[@borvo7]

good jazz and singer!

[@anacostia73]

[@violin_vampire]

[@dotz2ro]
