Album Notes

"With her almost painterly construction of tunes and sets, April Aloisio creates a delicately sketched, intricately shaded musical mosaic with her voice as the central hue. These songs sound immediately familiar, yet newly created and compelling. And they come from an artist who can invest everything from a sunny samba to a dark, brooding tango with the ring of emotional truth. Footprints marks the confirmation of April's style and showcases the clear assurance of her voice, and, in the end, it is impossible to be anything other or less than charmed by the result."

On her second CD for Southport Records, April mixes the music of Spain, Brazil and American jazz with an array of Chicago's finest musicians that includes Von Freeman, Eldee Young, Redd Holt and Howard Levy. She chooses the classic standards and then creatively interprets them, making them unique and her very own. A strong element of this CD is the beautiful way Aloisio blends vowels with the melody and instruments, showcasing her intriguing vocal style.
