Description
Who's the Bossa? is a group of musicians from three different countries who share an equal passion for Brazilian music: singer Josee Koning and pianist Hans Vroomans from The Netherlands, guitarist Nelson Faria from Brazil, and cellist Daniel Pezzotti from Switzerland.
Their first album, The Chamber Music Project, is the result of a warm friendship and a search for new roads in Brazilian music. The band decided to blend Brazilian music with jazz and classical music in a chamber ensemble setting. The small line-up without bass and drums is uncommon in Brazilian music. The result is a virtuoso, yet dreamy, relaxed and swinging album.
Famous Brazilian Ivan Lins is a big fan of the band. He wrote in the liner notes: '[the band] play with mature refinement and creativity, while Josee Koning performs beautifully, in impeccable Portuguese. Her unique vocal timbre is sweeter and prettier than ever. Incredible what experience can do! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful'
