Bianca Rossini
I’ve Been Alone
by Scott Yanow | Los Angeles Jazz Scene
Bianca Rossini is a jazz singer, songwriter, and actress from Brazil. She had previously recorded five albums, some of which featured her jazz singing but I’ve Been Alone is a bit different.
This time around, Ms. Rossini performs her original music. While she retains a jazz sensibility, the tunes are essentially middle-of-the-road pop songs. They range from warm ballads (best are “I’ve Been Alone” and “I Have Waited Like A Fool”) to the rock-oriented “Early Morning” and the joyful “Release Me.” Most of the songs deal with the trials and tribulations of love. Backed by a sympathetic rhythm section with occasional spots for guitarist Peter Roberts, the focus is on Bianca Rossini’s attractive voice and the messages of her songs
I’ve Been Alone, which is available from www.amazon.com, makes for an enjoyable listen due to Bianca Rossini’s appealing voice and delivery although listeners wanting to hear more of the singer’s jazz side are recommended to pick up her earlier recordings too.
