Description
Brazilian bossa nova queen Rosa Passos' highly anticipated album 'Samba Sem VocÃª'.
For years, the Brazilian vocalist and guitarist has had a devoted global following, including fans who proclaim she is Brazil's answer to Ella Fitzgerald or the female JoÃ£o Gilberto. So, expectations were high, when she performed two sets at Copenhagen Jazzhouse on July 7th, 2001. The tracks on 'Samba Sem VocÃª' come from the second set, while the songs of the first set were released as the album 'Dunas' in 2021.
Passos is a prolific, distinct vocalist with a playful yet sophisticated style marked by perfect pitch, spacious elegance and natural flair. Her musicality is an inspiration to singers all over the world. She is intimate and powerful at the same time, and the tunes she plays, a mixture of her own compositions and bossa nova classics, support her means of expression in the best way possible. On this recording, she has gathered some of the finest musicians in the business of bossa nova, including pianist FÃ¡bio Torres, bassist Paulo Paulelli and drummer Celso de Almeida.
She began playing piano at age thirteen, but after listening to Dorival Caymmi and JoÃ£o Gilberto, she abandoned the instrument to become a singer. She recorded her debut album in 1978, and has since worked with the likes of Ron Carter and performed with master pianist Kenny Barron among many others.
