    ““(Nova Bossa Nova) ‘Jazz Influence’ is a carnival – a buoyant intoxicating session that invites repeated listening.” – Nancy Ann Lee, JazzTimes

    “Arkadia Records makes a resounding splash with one of its very first releases, a buoyant and industrious blend of contemporary American jazz and hard-core Brazilian rhythms performed with dexterity and passion by Nova Bossa Nova…>” – Jack Bowers, Rapport

    The Brazilian Jazz/Bossa Nova ensemble Nova Bossa Nova creates an exiting new sound, a potent mix of powerful American Jazz horns driven by the sexy and fiery rhythms of Brazil, on their Arkadia Records album Nova Bossa Nova: Jazz Influence. A unique blend of two musical traditions, the group is a sensual and sizzling septet with a new voice and a new vision. Led by percussionist Guilherme Franco and bass player Alberto Beserra, Nova Bossa Nova is an innovative ensemble whose breakthrough sound fuses a traditional Brazilian rhythm section with a commanding Bebop Jazz front line.

    “…sense of nostalgia and sentiment, while retaining a fresh voice for its decidedly jazzy style…’Influence’ has it all.” – The Brazilian Music Review

    Among the top level players recruited by Franco and Beserra to give voice to this unique musical blend are Claudio Roditi on trumpet, Bob Mintzer (of Yellowjackets fame) on tenor sax, Eddie Monteiro with his unique accordion/vocalese style, Joe Ford on alto saxophone and Achan Inoue on piano. The songs on “Nova Bossa Nova: Jazz Influence”, the group’s first album, trace their origins to a variety of different sources, including both classic Jazz standards and Brazilian Bossa Nova and Samba. They are an eclectic bunch, combining an inventive Be-Bop horn section with a thumping Brazilian rhythm section, creating a unique, exciting sound. They are, simply… Nova Bossa Nova.

    “…a buoyant and industrious blend of contemporary American jazz and hard-core Brazilian rhythms performed with dexterity and passion.” – Jack Bowers, Rapport

    Whether poetically caressing the beats of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, playing horn lines from Jazz clubs in New York and Tokyo, or simply putting their own spin on Jazz standards, the music on this Arkadia Records release “Nova Bossa Nova: Jazz Influence” takes listeners on a magical journey while putting a new twist on both the standard repertoires of Jazz and Brazilian music.

    Nova Bossa Nova builds on the fusion of cool jazz and various Brazilian rhythms, which gained momentum in the U.S. in 1962 when Charlie Byrd and Stan Getz issued Jazz Samba. Capturing the bossa’s laid-back essence, Nova Bossa Nova sprinkles their inventions with hard-swinging modern tinges, with fine solo moments from Japanese pianist Achan Inoue and accordionist Eddie Monteiro (whose accompanying vocalese adds a unique flair to the session). Nine catchy and infectious tunes, mostly written by the co-leaders, are inspired by commonplace situations.

    While everyone shines, the stars are the incomparable hard-bop front line featuring tenor saxist Bob Mintzer (of Yellowjackets fame), trumpeter Claudio Roditi (Brazilian native who has performed and recorded with numerous groups including Dizzy Gillespie’s United Nations Orchestra), alto/soprano saxophonist Joe Ford (veteran player with bands of McCoy Tyner and Jerry Gonzalez’s Fort Apache Band). With its distinctive 1990s edge and fine solo work, Jazz Influence is truly a carnival… a buoyant, intoxicating session that invites repeated listening.
