Ana Caram – Blue Bossa [One Step] (Vinil 180g, LP)

Brazilian bossa nova and pop jazz singer Ana Caram, who also plays guitar and flute, was born on October 1, 1958, in São Paulo. Caram earned a university degree in composition and conducting in São Paulo and moved to New York in the 1980s. Caram first gained wider recognition when she performed with the famous Paquito D’Rivera at the JVC Jazz Festival at Carnegie Hall in July 1988. This led to a record deal with Chesky Records, and for her first album she was able to enlist the Brazilian bossa nova master Antônio Carlos Jobim to collaborate on songs. She recorded a total of seven more albums for Chesky, including the critically acclaimed “Blue Bossa,” which was first released in 2001.

Anna Caram has collaborated with various Latin jazz and bossa nova musicians such as Paquito D’Rivera, Sergio Assad, and Odair Assad. On “Blue Bossa,” she went into the studio with renowned drummer Paulo Braga and saxophonist Paulo Levi. With a repertoire that includes classic Jobim gems such as “Desafinado” and “Corcovado,” alongside other Brazilian highlights such as the rousing “The Telephone Song” and jazz standards such as “Fly Me To The Moon,” Caram cemented her role as one of the leading ambassadors of the timeless bossa nova sound in the 21st century. “Blue Bossa” is a very special gem in the Chesky discography and we are delighted to present the LP reissue of this wonderful album as part of the “Chesky Original Masters” series: pressed in the superior One-Step process on 180-gram vinyl (33 RPM)!
