Album Notes

Novabossa features the stunning vocals of Brazilian-born Marcia Tavora and songs from one of the great popular composers of the Twentieth Century, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Produced by Marty Jourard (former member of the '80s pop group The Motels), this five-song collection is smooth, exciting, and sensual. Perfect as background music for a quiet romantic evening or simply for pure listening pleasure, Mais Musica demonstrate the genius of Jobim's music. Included are two saxophone instrumentals, Jobim's dreamy "Andorinha" and the mellow "Tangerine" by Johnny Mercer.
The Players: Marcia Tavora, vocals; Marty Jourard, keyboards and sax, Eric Larson, drums; Fred Cockfield, bass; with guest guitarists Tim Lerch ("Triste"), Richy Stano (" Lamento") and Peter Caruso ("Felicidade"). Cover design by Robynne Ray of Modern Dog.
