Live in Brazil (Gary Williams album)

Live in Brazil is jazz vocalist Gary Williams's seventh album, recorded live onboard Royal Caribbean's ship Splendour of the Seas in 2013. It includes big band covers of songs by Gipsy Kings, Antônio Carlos and Tom Jobim, Frank Sinatra, Lady Gaga and Kylie Minogue. One song is recorded in English, German and Japanese. The live show was seen by over 20,000 Brazilians in 8 months.

Critical reception
The album was received well by critics and reviewers.

Clive Fuller of Encore said: "It is always difficult to transfer a "live" performance to an album as the contact between performer and audience is so much a part of the success of the show. This album brings with it all the atmosphere of a modern cabaret/stage show. Gary is in fine voice throughout and is backed by a really lively orchestra led by musical director & pianist/keyboards Jack Borkofski."

Musical Theatre commented: "Williams obviously has what it takes to be a cabaret artist – one of the most difficult occupations for a singer. He has charisma and a great voice."
