A relaxed bossa nova record that captures the feeling of beach and sun was the latest topic for the Berlin master record producer Stephan Flock. Which artist's works are better suited for this than those of the Brazilian "The Girl From Ipanema" author Antonio Carlos Jobim?
Eight beautiful titles from his rich repertoire were selected, with some unforgettable melodies, colorful harmonies and rarely played 3/4 bossa. The pieces were carefully modernized in a harmonious way and arranged for the special live direct editing, the "direct-to-disc" process. According to the motto "What is played, you can hear – what you hear has been played", there are no overdubs and cuts.
The recording begins with the poetic soprano saxophone piece "Fotografia". "Eu te amo" is one of the rare 3/4 bossa pieces, whose swaying melody is a real catchy tune. "O morro nao tem vez" is certainly better known to many under the title "Favela": a cheerful samba that features the drummer "Zipper" Schmigelok on the broom and contains that certain something through the slight reharmonization of Helge Adams. This is followed by the soulful "How Insensitive", before the second side starts with the samba composition "Agua de Beber", in which a Fender Rhodes piano is used for once. In the melancholic "Falando de amor" the band sounds as a traditional piano trio. With the soprano saxophone, the listeners are invited to "Dindi": this calm bossa immediately caused a smile among the players during the preparatory rehearsals. "Luiza" is again a <>/<> bossa that combines with the earthy echoes of Scandinavian jazz.
"Fotografia Música de Jobim" was recorded by the top-class musicians Simon Becker-Foss (sax, perc, arr), Helge Adam (p, ep, arr), Peter Schwebs (kb), Dieter "Zipper" Schmigelok (dr). The latter played "The Girl From Ipanema" with Astrud Gilberto as a student in New York. But convince yourself with this album that Jobim has much more to offer than this undoubtedly wonderful evergreen.
