Joyce's long lost 1977 album with Mauricio Maestro & Claus Ogerman finally set for release

Joyce's long lost 1977 album with Mauricio Maestro & Claus Ogerman finally set for release

Not long after the dawn of her career, as a teenager in Rio de Janeiro, Joyce was declared “one of the greatest singers” by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Yet despite reputable accolades and the fact that she has since recorded over thirty acclaimed albums, Joyce never quite achieved the international recognition of the likes of Jobim, João Gilberto and Sergio Mendes, all of whom became global stars after releasing with major labels in the US.

Vinyl Repress | Joyce, Nana Vasconcelos & Mauricio Maestro - Visions Of Dawn

Vinyl Repress | Joyce, Nana Vasconcelos & Mauricio Maestro - Visions Of Dawn

Led by the sharp lyrics and gorgeous voice of a young Joyce Moreno, the trio is completed by the late great Brazilian percussion legend Nana Vasconcelos, and master arranger, producer and bassist Mauricio Maestro. These beautiful, hazy and understated recordings offer a unique opportunity to sit in on the original sessions of tracks that would later become Brazilian cult-classics, such as swinging samba-jazz opener...
