Bruna Black & John Finbury’s new album, “Vã Revelação,” is a meditative Brazilian jazz sojourn that exemplifies the subtle shift from spring to summer. Ms. Black’s vocals are as seductive as a cool wave on a warm day.

Equally as impressive is the rhythm section led by—oh, what the heck, the entire band is strong. The players on this exquisite collection of songs composed by John Finbury are Vito Goncalves (piano), Chico Pinheiro (guitars), John Patitucci (bass), Duduka Da Fonseca (drums), and Rogerio Boccato (percussion).

Simply put, this is music with a heart, a heartbeat, and an imagination. Smooth, subtle, sophisticated, and worthy of accompanying you on your next mental getaway.

The album opens on the delicately-hued, flourishing title track Vã Revelação and the smoldering Pérolas and then brings us the sweeping playful Para Me Entender, the all-embracing Inverno de Nós Dois, and the furtive Nosso Cais.

Along next is the impassioned beauty found within Uma Noite Com Vocé which is in turn backed by the prosperous piano work that accompanies Romántico Calor, the recording rounding out on the sumptuous Será, closing on the Parisian-imbued Chão de Nuvem.
