Joyce Moreno & Kenny Werner - Poesia (2015) [Hi-Res]

Poesia: The Beauty of the Ballad: “A Brazilian treasure” teams up with one of America’s“ most literate and visceral pianists” in this balladic duet of passion and spirit: the Joyce Moreno and Kenny Werner album „Poesia“.

The above quoted kudos from Down Beat and Keyboard magazines only hint at the richness of these two ex- ceptional musicians. A bit of information for the uninitiated: Brazilian music icon Antonio Carlos Jobim trumpeted Moreno as “...One of the best singers of all times! ... As if it weren’t enough, Joyce is a great composer and plays ace guitar! What an amazing woman!” the prestigious French magazine Le Monde rated her “One of the most influential Brazilian composers of the last 20 years.” Joyce’s career began at the tender age of sixteen when she was discov- ered by the Brazilian composer Roberto Menescal, and over the years she has become known as ’one of the great interpretive singers in the Brazilian MPB (Popular Music of Brazil) tradition’. Joyce prefers the acronym MCB—Creative Music of Brazil; her lyrics have pioneered the portrayal of the first-person feminine point of view in Brazilian music.
