"This collaboration with the NDR Big Band presents a new facette of João Bosco's music: brasilian grooves enriched by the powerful energy of one of the hotest Big Band’s around.

The collaboration started when the NDR Big Band toured Brasil in 2007 and the first question we had to deal with was: how can you orchestrate the music of a man who is not only one of the greatest singer-songwriters, but who is also a fantastic guitarist and can easily enchant and electrify the audience alone, just by himself? We decided not to play background music for João but to somehow meet him in the middle: to combine his unique mixture of Samba, Rock and Jazz with the possibilities of a contemporary European Jazz orchestra and its individual soloists. With the help of Ney Conceição’s groovy bass lines and Kiko Freitas’ breathtaking and inspiring drumming the NDR Bigband sometimes really reached the energy of a steaming Samba band. This CD integrates a few of the many sides of João Bosco: his "africanidade" - the afro-brazilian, samba based side, his Rock’n’Roll side, his wonderful sense for ballads and his astonishing talent as a Jazz singer: João can turn a song easily into a adventurous journey (just listen to his scatting on "Desafinado").

Another reason for the success of this CD is Steve Gray’s incredible talent as an arranger and his empathetic abilities: Steve reached the core of things and turned it into something new (...) It is so sad that Steve never had the chance to listen to the result of his work. He died shortly after the beginning of the recordings. He arranged the music in the style of the great classical composers, developing ideas after ideas, hardly ever repeating anything, not even the smallest motif. That’s why the music can grow with every listening. And like all the great masters, Steve could make complex things sound so easy. Musicians and listeners can literally "bathe" in the harmonies he created. So in the end with the meeting of João Bosco, Steve Gray and the NDR Bigband we tried to re-discover and hopefully re-invent an important chapter of Brazilian music. I know this might sound daring, but like João says: "That’s what art is about: to dare new things every day."
