Description
A programme of Mohr's originals and various Brazilian classics, including "Fechado Pra Balan o" by Gilberto Gil and "Tempo de Amor" composed by Baden Powell.
The 96th release of "Jazz thing Next Generation" seems to be heading to Brazil, but singer Elsa Johanna Mohr is from Dusseldorf. But she already spent an exchange year in Brazil when she was in high school and fell in love with the music there. Studies of Portuguese and Brazilian literature in Munich, including a bachelor's thesis on the Brazilian composer Dorival Caymmi, followed, during which time she sang and played in various bands and then studied jazz singing in Osnabrück, where Simin Tander, Tobias Christl and Efrat Alony were among her teachers.
She can now be heard together with the Brazilian guitarist Flavio Nunes on her debut album "Passadinha" (Double Moon/Bertus). "Flavio has lived in Germany for three or four years, and everything was just right when we jammed and had our first small performances," the singer recalled. "What makes Flavio very special is his sensitive way of accompanying. I feel very seen and heard by him because he is very sensitive."
