“Primavera” was named Best Vocal Album of 2014 on The Big City Blog, Ottawa Citizen, Jazz History Online, and by Robert Bush. It also received a Honorable Mention by Kevin Lynch.
George Grella from the Big City Blog says:
“No criticism, the freshest and most unexpected music I heard on recordings this year can be found in the subcategories below, and the CDs from Serpa and Matos, Sperrazza, and Virelles are the de facto top three for 2014, not just for quality—everything below is high quality—but for that uncanny newness factor, music that is unexpected and powerfully attractive, and that doesn’t give up its secrets even after many listens. The mystery adds a compelling sensation.”
