Bossanaire – Holiday
Posted on Sunday, February, 12, 2017 in Brazilian Music Spotlight | Comments Off on Bossanaire – Holiday
This is the second offering from the talented Portland based jazz vocal group. Bossanaire artfully mines the rich tradition of bossa nova popularized by Jobim, Sergio Mendes and Gilberto/Getz. Don’t be fooled by the title of their latest release. It is not a seasonal/Christmas album. It is a wonderfully conceived and performed set of original material that will transport you to the warmth, sun and sand of whatever beach fantasy you might envision.
The VOCAL SOUND OF JAZZ began airing on 89.5 FM (now WHRV-FM) on January 4th 1980. Originally a 30 minute program that aired on Friday evenings, the program expanded to it current 60 minute format and moved to Saturday evenings during the 90s. It was also aired over WUOM in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a five-year period in the late 1980s.
Produced and hosted by Jack Frieden since its premiere broadcast, the program has always attempted to spotlight both jazz vocal music’s post 1950s history, as well as the new singers and songs that will continue to play an increasingly prominent role in the music’s future. With the internet’s ability to attract and entertain jazz vocal fans globally, Jack looks forward to broadening the mission and reach of the “Vocal Sound of Jazz” in coming years.
