Jazz On A Summer's Day - Led by Monica Vasconcelos
A Taste Of Spain (Paella) Promoted by The Wavendon Foundation
Brazilian singer Mônica Vasconcelos and her quartet Hih (as in 'feeling high') create a deep blend of jazz and Brazilian music. The band's repertoire combines original material plus classics from some of Brazil's greats.
Mônica Vasconcelos vocals
Steve Lodder piano and keys
Dudley Phillips accoustic and electric bass
Marius Rodrigues drums
Adriano Adewale percussion
"From the first few notes of her sixth album Vasconcelos leaves us in no doubt that she is one of the most sophisticated Brazilian artists to have made the UK's shores her home. During her 15 years there she has carved out a highly rewarding niche with her jazz-orientated take on MPB (popular music of Brazil), her understanding of Brazilian music perhaps even sharpened by the geographic distance she has put between herself and her homeland. Her voice remains as charming as ever whilst displaying further nuances that come with maturity. The opening track, "Nega Deleite" is a fantastic example - a lovely 'sambossa' groove is overlaid by her playful vocals, and you just know she is having a great time singing this music." - Songlines Magazine review of the album Hih
