Ithamara Koorax has a beautiful voice and a wide range. She often emphasizes long tones on this set, picking the best note for the right moment and holding it. The music alternates between heartfelt slow ballads and a more medium-tempo pace, with Koorax's haunting voice usually in the forefront. The trio is excellent, pianist Jurgen Friedrich has many short solos, and the repertoire is strong. This Japanese release has an alternate version of Jobim's "You Were Born to Be Mine" at the set's conclusion. Highlights include a slow "I Fall in Love Too Easily," the happy "Walking Down the Street," Dave Brubeck's "Unisphere," and a coolly emotional "Goodbye." Ithamara Koorax deserves to be much better known, for she has a sound of her own. ~Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/autumn-in-new-york-mw0001374909
