Passadinha - Jazz Thing Next Generation Vol. 96

Together, singer Elsa Johanna Mohr and Brazilian guitarist Flavio Nunes have compiled a repertoire of Mohr's originals and various Brazilian classics, including "Fechado Pra Balanço" by Gilberto Gil and "Tempo de Amor" composed by Baden Powell. "We started with Brazilian classics, which can now also be found on the album," Mohr explained the song selection. "This includes 'A Menina Dança‘ (the dancing girl) by the group Novos Baianos. We made sure that we didn't only have Bossa Nova songs, but also sometimes a choro or something trendy."The clear diction and the informal style of Mohr's singing make “Passadinha” a small gem. The Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung has already certified that she sings “as if she had grown up on Sugarloaf Mountain”, to which Nunes, who can be heard on both the acoustic and the electric guitar, contributes a lot.
