Singing in French, Portuguese and English, Karrin Allyson, on her new album from Paris to Rio, threads it all together seamlessly with a singular combination of unbridled charisma and jazz-seeped finesse. Relaxing with US in a Paris cafe one moment, then whisking US off to dance the samba in the streets of Rio the next, the multifarious Karrin Allyson is a exquisite hostess on a vibrant and colorful musical excursion.
