Description:

Portuguese borderless female singer pays tribute to a funky jazz pioneer! Portuguese female singer Carmen Souza, of Cape Verdean descent, has attracted many fans with her soulful voice and jazzy musicality. She made her Japan debut with her last album "Creology" (GLR-8035), and now she has released a work dedicated to Horace Silver, a jazz musician/pianist who shares her Cape Verdean roots. Horace's songs, including the well-known jazz standard "Song for My Father," are clearly influenced by his Cabo Verdean father, but here Carmen and her partner, Theo Pascual, add their light Creole vocals to the Latin jazz, Afro-jazz, and even Cabo Verdean jazz. Theo Pascual's music is a reworking of Latin jazz, Afro-jazz, and even elements of Cabo Verde and Brazilian music, with light Creole vocals. A superb tribute album that explores the musical depths of Horace Silver! Includes Japanese commentary and obi.
