Brazilian Music, Jazz, Jeff Lorber, New Releases, Sergio Mendes

Greetings’ jazz aficionados, the month of June has finally arrived with another palette of distinctive, and insinuating sounds, immaculate melodies, relentless rhythms attached to the opulent flavors embedded & exalted freely from the vibrant voice of jazz is here to quench our ongoing thirst for quality music.

In the meantime, we’re here to celebrate “Black Music Month!” We’re delighted to jump start the summer with a defining moment embracing a hypnotic groove that reflects the mood of the season in a redemptive spirit with the fusion classic “Chinese Medicinal Herbs” anchored to the spicy “Sugar Free” tastefully served up by Portland, OR native and keyboardist Jeff Lorber and his latest offering “Now is The Time” on Telarc is a smooth blend of refined fusion and signature vocals will satisfy his current fanbase. We also have the engaging rhythms of “Bom Tempo” by the legendary Brazilian maestro Sergio Mendes. The combustible flavorings of new music continues to soar with the bluesy ramp of the Steve Howe Trio and his tasty and organic vibes of “Travelling” melodically stirred with a savoring old school twist! While you’re here, there’s more new stuff including the fascinating sounds by the WDR Big Band featuring brilliant arrangements of Vince Mendoza along with a host of other top shelve players on “Caribbean Night.”

J. Lorber Fusion - Now is The Time

Sergio Mendes | Bom Tempo – [Concord Records, 2010]

Sergio Mendes - Bom Tempo

Sergio Mendes, producer, composer, arranger pianist, band leader and cultural sage, continues his magical ride with Bom Tempo, a beautiful slice of rhythmically fresh inspiration from the internationally celebrated artist. He remains as vibrant and vital today as he was when leading Brasil ’66 to international superstardom. Mendes’ modern sensibilities and ultra sensitivity to the intricate and beautiful Brazilian musical language he himself helped create has always been his focus. Born Tempo expands the maestro’s use of color, texture and street derived energy, highlighting his mastery of authentic Brazilian rhythms and composition. In the end, Bom Tempo is a brilliant summer day celebration.
