This album was going to be Joyce??s international breakthrough release? but it never came out?? Wax Poetics - "Natureza" is a remarkable CD that brings together the talents of Brazilian music legends Joyce and Mauricio Maestro, with the legendary arranger Claus Ogerman. Originally recorded in 1977 but unreleased for decades, this album captures the essence of Brazilian jazz, bossa nova, and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) at its finest. The lush orchestrations by Ogerman blend seamlessly with Joyce's expressive vocals and Maestro?s intricate songwriting. Far Out Recordings, renowned for their dedication to unearthing rare gems from Brazil?s rich musical heritage, has finally brought this masterpiece to light. Joyce is celebrated as one of Brazil's most influential female singer-songwriters; her career spans over five decades with numerous acclaimed albums and collaborations worldwide. Mauricio Maestro is known for his sophisticated compositions and work with vocal group Boca Livre. Claus Ogerman was an iconic German arranger who worked with stars like Antonio Carlos Jobim and Frank Sinatra?his touch elevates "Natureza" into a timeless classic. |
