Dalto has performed with such top-ranked New York-based Latin musicians as Jerry Gonzalez, Hilton Ruiz, and Mauricio Smith's Latin Jazz Orchestra, and was a featured vocalist with Mario Bauza's AfroCuban Orchestra and Carlos "Patato" Valdes's AfroJazzia Ensemble. She continues to perform with her own band at such New York nightspots as the Blue Note, S.O.B.'s and Birdland.~ Craig Harrishttps://www.allmusic.com/artist/adela-dalto-mn0000930650/biography

(7:28)  1. Samba Triste
(7:26)  2. Berimbau
(6:10)  3. Menina Moca
(6:05)  4. Triste
(6:26)  5. A Felicidade
(5:58)  6. Lunasea
(4:07)  7. Manhã De Carnaval
(6:11)  8. Insensatez

This CD focuses primarily on Brazilian standards performed by the Konitz sextet, except for the Brazilian-flavored "Lunasea," written by Peggy Stern, which features her high school choir. "Berimbau" is swinging and percussive, while the well-known "Insensatez" takes many unexpected turns. "Triste" is also a familiar theme played with relish. Vocalist Adela Dalto makes a strong impression with her guest spot on "A Felicidade." Konitz's duet with the phenomenal acoustic guitarist Romero Lubambo on "Manha De Carnaval" is breathtaking.~Ken Dryden http://www.allmusic.com/album/brazilian-rhapsody-mw0000186085

Personnel:  Lee Konitz (soprano & alto saxophones); Adela Dalto (vocals); Peggy Stern (piano); Romero Lubambo (acoustic guitar); Dave Finck (bass); Duduka Dafonseca (drums); Waltinho Anastacio (percussion).
