Rio, the new CD by the Tim Drackert Group, featuring the the intriguing voice of Julia Yates and the lyrical, melodic guitar of Tim Drackert, breathes new life into the classic Bossa Novas of Jobim, Bonfa,and Baden Powell as well as the songs of Henry Mancini and Irving Berlin.
If you liked the Bossas by the likes of Jobim, Joao and Astrud you'll love Tim and Julia's subtle but sophisticated sound. Great compositions and talent come together in Rio to make it a CD that transcends genres and opens the world of Brazilian music to those that like Nora Jones, Sade, or Bebel Gilberto. The percussion of Dennis Unsworth and the acoustic bass of Rennan Rieke help make Rio both acoustically intimate yet sonically bigger than life. Whether you're an aficionado of Brazilian music or simply a lover of beautiful music, you'll find yourself seduced by the sound of Rio.
Where ever you are from, Rio will evoke the sites and sounds, the romance and whimsy of Ipanema and wing you off to simpler times with the subtle cadences of Portuguese floating through.
No recording in recent years has captured the spirit of Bossa Nova like Rio. It's satisfying in every way, except that it leaves you wanting for more.

Brazil in Montana??
author: Tera Crisalida
Being half Brazilian myself and an avid listener and player of Brazilian music, I was skeptical about this CD - that is until I heard it. Who knew that some folks from Montana would actually get closer to the authentic Brazilian sound that any other Americans I have ever heard. The CD is well produced and the talented musicians really do justice to this genre. Julie Yates has by far the best portuguese accent of any American I've ever heard and Tim Drackert's melodic and intruiging guitar solos leave you yearning for more. I played this CD for my mother who is a full blooded Brazilian and she swore Julie and the other musicians were Brazilians. As we say in portugueuse maybe they are "Brazilieros de coraon e alma" (their hearts and souls are Brazilian). Hearing the CD prompted me to hear this group live and their performance is not to be missed. Congratulations to these talented musicians and thanks for getting ir right!
