Laid back jazz vocals float beautifully over bossa and samba rhythms.
This unusual mix is inspired by the work of Brazilian artist Antonio
Carlos Jobim. The result is an acoustically spacious album which seduces
the senses with a mix of familiar and new material.
Recording
started in 2007. The project has since undergone amazing and loving
transformations with the expertise of producer Paul Boath, musical
director Todd Sidney and the team at Move Records.
The raw
inspiration of acoustic Brazil and the brilliant talents of the likes of
Bob Sedergreen feature on this 12 track disc, which flows effortlessly
between original and reinterpretated compositions.
Composer Tom
Jobim and his cohorts turned sex on the beach into sound (the 60s bossa
nova) with a fusion of acoustic latin rhythms and laid back jazz
improvisation. Picture a walk on the beach singing, the sea on a sunny
summer afternoon while a sometimes unpredictable breeze plays over brown
bodies and shining waves.
This album was inspired by that love,
that moment in time recast into the new century. |
