Mineiro Bao

In 2009-2010, Joao release his second album, MINEIRO BAO. 'Here's the second album released by Brazilian guitarist and composer Joao Ferraz who is continuing his path of mixing contemporary smooth jazz with a good variety of Brazilian (Minas Gerais) rhytms. His modern signature style already distinct on his previous CD:'Sapo', is getting more clarity on 'Mineiro Bao'. This time the overall sound is more 'Brazilian', featuring the charming voices of Marcela Velon and Fael Mondego, backed by a cohesive and dynamic rhythm section. On guitar Joao Ferraz is moving freely between ballad, quick-tempos, solos and colorful accents with the same spontaneity and warm feel. A special mention for the 4th song, 'Debaixo Da Pedra', where he is joined on harmonica by Gabriel Grossi in a wonderful free style swingy duet. Another great moment of the album is the delicate 'Gafierinha', where I appreciated the harmony of Trombone-Trumpet-Sax combo nicely blending with Joao's guitar. On the next song Joao sings in an exuberant duet with Marcela Velon. A very melodious album to bring a little sunshine in your life'. (jazzworldquest.com)
