Joyce Moreno & Dori Caymmi - Rio Bahia (2005)

Rio Bahia features material from Dori and Joyce, song writing partnerships such as Dori with Chico Buarque and Joyce with Carlos Lyra and standards from Baden Powell, Vinicius de Moraes & Dorival Caymmi. Joyce: “Rio Bahia is a passionate love chant of me and Dori, two old-school Cariocas (Rio Natives), to their Rio/Bahia roots. This album is a tale of two cities, both beautiful but both suffering with the challenges of metropolitan modern life”.
The Rio Bahia jazz mood has in essence been created by Joyce’s now long serving rhythm section of her husband, Tutty Moreno on drums and Rodolfo Stroeter on bass. Also guesting on the album is the great American jazz pianist Kenny Werner and samba percussionist Ronaldo Silva. A choir of friends from São Paulo joins them.
