THE JAZZ’N’SAMBA - PATTY ASCHER’S NEW ALBUM
Brazilian singer Patty Ascher’s new album, Deu Jazz no Samba (Jazz in Samba), is a collection of 11 exquisite songs, most of them written by the singer with co-writers Marco Ponte and Ronaldo Rayol. Many great Brazilian musicians participate in this album, and Patty says it is kind of a tribute to them.
“We have in Brazil so many talented musicians so we thought about making Deu Jazz no Samba a tribute to them. For me, it’s an honor to be able to have so many incredible players in the same team”, says Patty.
With the talent, personality and elegance of Dori Caymmi, Amilson Godoy, Jota Morais, Eduardo Lages, Gilson Peranzetta, Aluisio Pontes, Cristovão Bastos - some of the great names that participate in this work – and Patty’s one-of-a-kind voice, the final result s an album filled with pop and jazz, besides a bit of bossa and latin ballads.
Roberto Menescal – a famous Brazilian songwriter and Patty Ascher’s mentor - was the “production supervisor” on this new album, and he played his “bossa-jazz-guitar” in Sunrise: an English version written by Patty of the Brazilian song Amanhecendo, from writers Lula Freire e Menescal.
Summer Knows (by Marilyn e Alan Bergman/Michel Legrand) has arrangements by Dori Caymmi and is a tribute to another important musician and inspiration in Patty’s career, the French orchestra conductor, pianist and composer Michel Legrand, three times a Oscar winner – and with whom Patty toured around Brazil (2008 / 2009).
THE SHOW
JAZZ’N’SAMBA is a maravellous show that mix Jazz and Samba music : both were born in the beginning of 20th Century from the same ‘mother’ - Africa. Icon songs from Jazz , like A Night in Tunisia and Satin Doll received a Brazilian jazzy swing version.
Also, iconic songs from Samba like Mas que Nada and Eu Quero um Samba received a jazzy ‘roupage’, showing that Jazz and Samba were born together , at the same time, from the same ‘mother’.
A special Bossa Nova session is guaranteed: Tom Jobim, Michel Legrand and Burt Bacharach songs are presented in a Bossa Nova style.
