Ed Rice presents a recital of compositions all by the Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Jobim. Inspired by a range of influential recordings and arrangements from Brazil and further afield, this recital aims to showcase the breadth of influences in Jobim’s writing, including Brazilian bossa nova and samba, North American jazz and the western classical tradition. The recordings that have inspired this programme include the 1992 live album Antônio Carlos Jobim and Friends, which features performances by legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock of A Felicidade and Ela é Carioca, showcasing Hancock’s harmonic inventiveness as well as the vitality of Brazilian samba rhythms. Jobim himself also performs Luiza on this album, which displays the influence of 19th Century romantic music on his writing. This recital also comprises some compositions first heard on João Gilberto’s 1958 album Chega de Saudade, which is commonly thought to have spearheaded the bossa nova movement in Brazil.
