For the encore new ballad “Liang & Zhu” and vintage pop bossa “Promises” were performed with the audience still wanting more. Older songs “A Gift” was poetic and gentle, while “Cruising for Bruising” was danceable and bossa-grooving classic “Half a Minute” from her ‘80s jazz-pop group Matt Bianco drew strong reactions.Īlso included was straightforward jazz tune “How Dare You” bolstered by a sax solo, Motown styled “Time and Tide” and airy bossa/samba “Third Time Lucky” to end the show. Men responded to the groove and sax solo. Returning to more familiar bossa-pop orientation was “No Heartache” a new effervescent tune with lyrics that strongly resonated with the mostly female audience. For a changeup new tune “Bubble” was accented by light bluesy guitar and had a bit of a jazzy feel.Īlternately, the guitarist’s piece “Matteo” (also on his solo recording) was classical romantic-pop oriented, featuring Basia singing serenely and guitar soloing. The audience didn’t seem to mind the electronic enhancement and quickly became spellbound to Basia’s remarkable talent and personable charm. Most of the songs included digital choral effects to supplement the singer’s voice. Older songs like airy “Blame It on the Summer” and upbeat samba-pop “Take Him Back Rachel” with brass choruses and an acoustic guitar solo followed. New song, bossa-flavored “Pandora’s Box” started the show to spotlight Basia’s breezy style with her easy grooving band. There with her were creative collaborators Danny White-keyboards (husband and guitarist Peter White’s brother), Giorgio Serci-guitar, Marc Parnell-drums, Andres Lafone-bass, Paul Booth-sax and Kevin Robinson-trumpet, she reprised her hits going back to the ‘80s, along with songs from the newly released Butterflies album.
