From the CD "Journey To Rio" by Roger Davidson (Soundbrush Records)
Like many Americans, Roger Davidson discovered the bossa nova through the recordings of Stan Getz, and since then, the sounds of Brazil have been especially close to his heart. In four previous CDs ? Brazilian Love Song, Bom Dia, Rodgers in Rio, and Bingo ? he brought his unique spin to the music of a country that, remarkably, he had never visited. In October 2011, that changed.
Accompanied by his producer, the Argentine bassist and bandleader Pablo Aslan, Roger took his first trip to Brazil. Most of his eight days there, which he spent in Rio de Janeiro, were occupied by six recording sessions. Roger arrived with a hundred of his Brazilian compositions to choose from; the songs he recorded ? in addition to several new ones he composed in Rio ? comprise these two CDs.
?Journey to Rio features deeply emotional Brazilian love songs alongside Davidson?s French inspired compositions. These compositions enforce a sense of rooted emotion that melds Davidson?s vast life experiences of international culture with the modern expressions of Brazilian jazz.? Latin Jazz Corner
