Coração Brasileiro – A Brazilian Heart : Anna Salleh, a science journalist who sings and plays Brazilian jazz speaks to Mark Ulyseas on her life and works.

“There’s something very special here: a real understanding and passion for the idiom … really well played with a lot of life and energy.” – Peter Rechniewski (co-founder Sydney Improvised Music Association and Foundry616 jazz club)

“Sublime rendition of Brazilian classics with little bubbles and arrows of phrases energised by a rhythm that just won’t stop. Soft and sensual – soul and dream hold each other in a waltz’ Impressions from an earlier show.”-Danny Gardner, poet and writer

“She seduces the audience as only a woman with a real love and respect of Brazilian music could.”- Tina Harrod, acclaimed Australian soul singer
