From famed Caffé Vivaldi in NY’s Greenwich Village, Davidson is classically trained but her showcases original jazz (except for 2 tracks) with a Brazilian flair. Solo piano, so all rather low key. But played with a nice style and sophisticated flair.

1. A happy, swinging little bit of Brazilian fluff.
*2. Driving and bright w/a nice melodic quality.
3. A relaxed ballad.
4. Slow love song with flourish.
*5. Sweet and shimmery midtempo love song.
6. Slow and dramatic with a cinematic quality.
7. Romantic bossa nova sway.
*8. Bright and swinging showcase.
9. Slow and elegant.
10. A ballad with a hint of sadness.
*11. Playful and upbeat
*12. Slow at first, picks up and gets bright.
*13. Downtempo at first into a happy little sway. Cole Porter.
14. Relaxed, downtempo & rather lush.
15. Midtempo with nice moments of brightness.
