Description

NOVA BOSSA NOVA is a potent mix of powerful American jazz horns driven by a hard core Brazilian rhythm section. A unique blend of two musical traditions. A sensual and sizzling septet with a new voice and a new vision.

Led by percussionist Guilherme Franco and bass-player Alberto Beserra, Nova Bossa Nova is an innovative ensemble whose breakthrough sound fuses the traditional Brazilian rhythm section with a hard-core jazz front line. Among the players recruited by Franco and Beserra to give voice to this unique musical blend are Claudio Roditi on trumpet, Bob Mintzer on tenor sax, Joe Ford on alto sax, Eddie Monteiro and his unique accordion/vocal style. The songs on Jazz Influence, the group's first album, trace their origins to a variety of different sources, from classic standards to walks in the park. Bassist Beserra explains: "The Bird" is a song I did for my bird-I have a singing cockatoo who improvises a lot. He's like a son-he eats from my mouth. He loves Charlie Parker, so I decided to make this song for him.

"New Hope" was born one day when I was walking in the park-I'm trying, you know, to lose some weight. It was an inspiration. I was walking and the melody came into my mind. When I got back home I picked up my midi guitar and started writing the tune. I gave it a name, but I didn't really like it, so I crossed it out. It was Guilherme who named the song.

"Three Places" well that song, I guess, is about me. I live in Japan, I love the States, and I love my home country of Brazil too. That's my dilemma. Thinking where I'd like to spend the rest of my life, where I'd like to die.

"Jazz Influence" is a Carlos Lyra song from the bossa nova era , in Brazil. It is a standard, and a song which I've always liked. It is a very happy song, I think, alive, a very jazzy tune with a lot of syncopation.

The Jaquitiba is a big tree, a Brazilian tree. It was also a soap opera with an actress who was a very cute lady. I got inspired by that. It is a love song.
