(Vocal jazz,Orchestral Jazz) Charito with Manhattan Jazz Orchestra - Nica's Dream - 2006, MP3, 320 kbps

Affair To Remember is a rich compilation of timeless, romantic ballads by Charito, where she reunites with pianist extraordinaire and long time friend Soichi Noriki. They are back together creating sheer elegance and artistic maturity in this album of jazz standards. Joined by musicians of an equally high caliber, super bass players Benisuke Sakai and Kengo Nakamura and Gene Jackson on drums - one of the swinging-est backing bands ever, all of whom are thinking of the whole sound and the whole effect, makes for the beauty of this great collaboration. Gorgeous songs and accompaniment along with her deep vibrato, Charito, always makes lyrics come alive. Her renditions of all the songs are hauntingly romantic and are pure magic. Now in her prime, she wraps her sultry voice around standards as "Say It" and "Estate" and soars on popular show tunes such as "Smile" and "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing". An Affair To Remember is among the most moving and emotional ballads she's ever recorded.Throughout, this album takes you to a gentle,hard to forget, romantic jazz music journey.
