Joyce & Tutty Moren - Jazz is Dead (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Tutty Moreno's drumming has anchored Brazilian music for decades, from his work with Milton Nascimento to countless sessions at the heart of the MPB tradition. Joyce, meanwhile, has been one of the genre's most singular voices since the 1970s, her harmonic sensibility drawing equally from bossa nova and jazz. Adrian Younge's Jazz Is Dead series has made a practice of honoring living legends, and this pairing feels like one of its most natural fits yet.
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.
