Adela Dalto - Peace

Female jazz vocals on SACD

Adela Dalto has been immersed in the highest levels of creative Latin and Brazilian music and has mixed the sophisticated elements of this music with American jazz. Her Latin jazz repertoire also includes her original compositions, combining beautiful vocal sounds with fiery rhythms. She has performed around the world with her musical group including the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, Japan, China, Indonesia and Egypt. One of her first performances was as a backup singer for Celia Cruz, and she has since performed with some of the top Latin jazz artists including Arturo O'Farrell, Mario Bauza's Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra and Carlos "Patao" Valdez.

Her recordings include world class musicians such as Chucho Valdez, David Sanchez, Jerry Gonzalez, David Valentin, Ray Vega and Claudio Roditi. She has collaborated on albums with Mario Bauzá, Lee Konitz, and Aloisio Aguiar. As a Latin Jazz vocalist, recording artist and songwriter, with a successful career that spans more than 30 years, her performance has been described as "A sublime melding of Latin and jazz styles – Dalto is sensuous and spellbinding." (Mark Holston, JAZZIZ)

Adela fell in love with pianist/composer Horace Silver's "Peace" when she was working with a Latin-jazz group and looking for interesting songs. She quickly added it to her repertoire. Adela’s version, perhaps the definitive jazz vocal rendering, features a tenor solo by Dick Oatts, a veteran of the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra.
