This is the second CD from the Washington DC based band of international artists from Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2011 Veronneau drew critical acclaim and won fans around the globe for 'Joie de Vivre – Joy of Living'. With strong airplay in North America and beyond the album rose to No.9 in Jazzweek’s World Music chart, made the Top 10 on many stations and attracted a huge internet following. Virginia based, Veronneau toured the UK and Canada in 2011 playing festivals and club dates and performing live on BBC radio and Radio Canada. The new disc, Jazz Samba Project, was inspired by the band’s love for, and research into, the 1962 album Jazz Samba, by Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd. Recorded at All Souls Church in Washington D.C. (where Veronneau presented a Jazz Samba Anniversary event on May 20, 2012), the historic album merged the music of two hemispheres, changing the sonic landscape forever. Today the enticing sounds of Brazil are part of our musical DNA. Jazz Samba Project presents a selection of tunes from the landmark 1962 recording plus some of the famous bossa’s which followed. The album also showcases the bands unexpected and enjoyable bossa nova treatments of contemporary jazz and pop classics and features the latest original from band member David Rosenblatt ‘Septemer Moon’. Listeners will be awed by how beautifully the Portugese, English and French lyrics are sung by French Canadian vocalist Lynn Véronneau. User-contributed text is av
