Product Details

Brazilian music runs deep with rhythm and longing, and few partnerships carry that current more naturally than Joyce and Tutty Moreno, collaborators whose history together stretches back through decades of MPB. Adrian Younge, who has built Jazz Is Dead into one of the most vital archival and creative forces in contemporary jazz, brings his analog production philosophy to Rio's legacy, letting the warmth of the tape capture what digital would flatten.


Joyce and T utty Moreno, the legendary vocalist/guitarist and drummer who helped definethe sound of Brazilian popular music, have partnered with Adrian Younge to create JID027.The result is an album that captures the ethereal beauty of collective improvisation, theweight of saudade, and the unbreakable bond between two of Brazil's most reveredmusicians.The album is a delicate balance of premeditation and improvisation. Joyce'scompositions-"Mandala;' "Uaná Eté:' "Is This Love?;' "Fingers:' and "Janeiro"-sitalongside instrumental pieces by Younge, where Joyce's voice becomes a horn, aflute, a river of melody without words. The album closes with "Cfrculo Vicioso;' arecitation of the iconic poem by Machado de Assis, Brazil's greatest writer. Joyce'sspoken word, delivered in her native Portuguese, transforms the track into a meditationon life, death, and the cyclical nature of art.
