Product information "Red Bossa"

Legendary Brazilian singing star Joyce Moreno is beyond amazed by Danish pianist and composer Steen Rasmussen's musical fluency and close relationship to Brazilian music: “He knows it inside and out and plays it with respect and a deep understanding of all aspects of the art form. After hearing Rasmussen's Red Bossa Trio, she emphasizes that he is an artist who follows his heart, “which should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever heard him play - or had the pleasure of playing alongside him, which is the case for me. The magic of the trio's music is a powerful statement and reminder to all who hear it that beauty exists in a wild world. It should be no surprise that one of Steen's tracks is called Hymn to Life, and another is called Happy Sadness - the very emotion that helps define Brazilian music as a whole, and Bossanova, in particular.” Steen's Red Bossa Trio consists of Fredrik Damsgaard, with his tastefully insightful bass playing, and one of Brazil's most respected drummers, Celso De Almeida, who expertly and elegantly spices up the music just as it should be with an authentic ability to underplay things while being funky at the same time. RED BOSSA was recorded in Copenhagen and cements Steen Rasmussen's crucial role as Denmark’s leading interpreter of Brazilian music. Since his first introductions to Bossa, Samba, and the other sub-genres from the great South American country and culture, he’s dared to dive headfirst into things fully committed and without a safety net.
