Joyce Moreno - Cool:

Throughout her 50 year career as one of Brazil’s most brilliantly imaginative artists, Joyce Moreno has thrived artistically in consistently undertakes new challenges. In the ‘70s she provoked controversy for singing in first-person feminine voice (never before attempted by any of the very few female songwriters in Brazil at the time) and her lyrics defied the censorship attempts of the Brazilian military dictatorship. After something of an epiphany, with Cool Joyce has finally agreed to take on a challenge repeatedly asked of her for the last two decades.

“For over 20 years I've been requested to make an album with North American jazz standards. Nothing against it, but I always said no. I had the strange feeling that such an album would look weird in my discography, too commercial - like I didn't have any new tricks up my sleeve, and yes, I always have plenty. Music has never ceased to bless me with new ideas and new tunes. So why on Earth should I embark on such a trip?

The answer came to me during a soundcheck when I started playing, just for fun, a Cole Porter song in a different way. The song was 'Love For Sale' - a song about a demimondaine, a hooker, in short. But then this afoxe groove came up, and, all of a sudden, Cole Porter's call girl became a hooker from Bahia. And I thought, 'man, these tunes can be rearranged and be really fun!” 

To play these tunes with my guitar, re-harmonize them, find their possible different grooves, and make them mine. Not just turn them into 'Brazilian bossas' - which would be the obvious thing to do - but find the personality of each one of these songs, and dress them differently. This was how the hooker from 'Love For Sale' moved on to the streets of Salvador. 'Let's Do It', also a Cole Porter standard, with its percussive lyrics, turned into a syncopated samba. 'Fever' was re-harmonized as a typical 'Joycean' tune, with a different guitar tuning and drums played with Tutty Moreno's bare hands. 'Banana Boat', always treated as a happy work chant, had its profound sadness exposed (what can be more sad than people who 'work all night on a drink of rum'?). 'Invitation', of course, had to be a very sensual tango. And so on.”. “There is also one original tune only here: my jazzy samba 'Mingus, Miles & Coltrane', a tribute to three of my personal jazz heroes, who inspired me a lot since I was a kid. Coltrane is also remembered here in my arrangement for 'My Favourite Things', inspired by his classic recording, but mixed with an improvised Jobim quote in the end.”

    (Master of Business Administration, master of business administration) is not so much a training program as a Manager’s degree (in management). Here it is important to have it, which indicates that you have the skills necessary for a middle-and senior-level Manager. To date, there is no single standard that would allow you to divide the degree of proficiency in these skills, so only the fact of having a corresponding diploma is taken into account.

    The first version of such a training system began to be used in the United States in the 19th century. for many companies of that time, employees who knew the latest management methods were in demand. With

    In our country, the MBA program started at the branch of the Plekhanov economic Institute. Since then, the standard has taken root and MBA education is now considered one of the mandatory for prestigious vacancies in the economic sphere.

    The opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge in the field of business, from which you can get practical benefits in your daily work.
    Increased chances of becoming the head of a large firm. The owners of this education are guaranteed to move up the career ladder.
    Getting first-hand knowledge from world-class businessmen, and perhaps even from Nobel prize winners.
    A great opportunity to get a job abroad or in our country, but in an international organization.
    In General, MBA education increases the qualification level of a specialist, making it more competitive in the job market. But there are a few disadvantages.

    For example, today young professionals who have just graduated from UNIVERSITY are trying to get an MBA right away. The motivation is obvious — they want to immediately get a job in a prestigious company for a high-paying position with a career growth forecast. And there may be no time to get additional education in the future. But here’s the problem — the MBA provides practical knowledge in contrast to the usual “HSE”, which would be better compared with your own business experience. This is the only way to highlight in the entire course the knowledge that will really help in a particular situation. And without experience, everything becomes nothing more than an interesting educational program.

    The second disadvantage is again hidden in the lack of practical experience for most of the owners of MBA crusts. It is difficult for them to apply the existing knowledge in practice, they do it with caution, sometimes being late with responsible decisions. To work successfully in a rapidly changing market, you need to work for many years to develop the skills to solve complex problems on the fly.
