Waves: The Bossa Nova Session
The inviting sensitivity of vocalist Eden Atwood and the sensuous rhythms of Brazil make for a stirring musical marriage on her first Groove Note release. Eden, who's thrilled audiences from Chicago to Shanghai, gives the music of Jobim, Ellington, Lennon-McCartney and others fresh meaning with unmatched warmth, conviction and a flirtatious touch of playfulness on this new CD. She's joined by pianist/Thelonious Monk Piano Competition winner Bill Cunliffe, award winning guitarist Anthony Wilson, bassist Derek Oles and drummer Joe LaBarbara.
