Joyce's stunning new album 'Rio Bahia' - her 25th! - sees her joined by legendary arranger, guitarist and composer, Dori Caymmi, who having added string arrangements and sung on most tracks, has given the album a sweeping, majestic feel that will appeal not only to fans of Joyce and classic Brazilian music but also those into classic vocal Jazz. Rio Bahia features new material from Dori and Joyce, new songwriting partnerships such as Dori with Chico Buarque and Joyce with Carlos Lyra and standards from Baden Powell, Vinicius de Moraes & Dorival Caymmi. The Rio Bahia jazz mood has in essence been created by Joyce's now long serving rhythm section of her husband, Tutty Moreno on drums and Rodolfo Stroeter on bass. Also guesting on the album is the great American jazz pianist Kenny Werner, and percussionist Ronaldo Silva, a samba specialist. A choir of friends from Sao Paulo also join them on many of the tracks. Described by Antonio Carlos Jobim as "one of the greatest singers of all time", singer, composer, guitarist Joyce is one of the most revered of Brazilian singers, not only in her own country, but on the international stage. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1948, Joyce is a sophisticated urbanite, whose personal musical style was nurtured in Rio's fertile jazz/samba scene. Her sound mellifluously combines Brazilian rhythms, jazz harmonies and intelligent lyrics through a beautiful expressive voice.
