Fleurine - Brazilian Dream Blooms (Remastered) (2020)

For Brazilian Dream blooms, Fleurine composed all the music on guitar and found herself a dream band made up of up and coming and some well established Brazilian musicians on the New York jazz scene, some of whom she has collaborated with for many years like Vitor Gonçalves (piano & accordion), Chico Pinheiro (electric guitar), Eduardo Belo (bass), Ian Faquini (acoustic guitar) and Rogerio Boccato (percussion), a.k.a. Boys from Brazil. Old favorites Chris Potter (flutes and saxes) and Brad Mehldau (Fender Rhodes & piano) were added to the mix to complete her dream. Brazilian Dream blooms showcases nine original songs based on deeply Brazilian grooves like bossa, baiao and samba, infused with plenty of jazz. Brazilian Dream blooms also boasts beautiful horn and string arrangements by Rafael Piccolotto de Lima. Bossa nova, lounge, singer-songwriter, chill-out, world music and jazz fans will all find something to fall in love with on Brazilian Dream blooms.
