New Album "Sue Ann ~ Homage to Antonio Carlos Jobim" Released Today. Music Video for "A Felicidade" Now Available.
The new album "Sue Ann ~ Homage to Antonio Carlos Jobim" is released today.
This is a tribute album to Antonio Carlos Jobim, the great bossa nova composer who would have celebrated his 100th birthday in January 2027. The album was recorded as a duo with pianist Masaki Hayashi.
From well-known songs like "Agua de Beber" and "Chega de Saudade" to hidden gems, this work freshly expresses the musical essence of Jobim with an intimate sound that allows you to hear each other's breaths.
Saxophonist Sadao Watanabe participates as a special guest on three tracks, and the liner notes for the CD/LP were written by author Haruki Murakami.
<Lisa Ono Comment>
This album, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Antonio Carlos Jobim's birth, was produced in collaboration with pianist Masaki Hayashi.
The participation of saxophonist Sadao Watanabe, who was friends with my father, was a special encounter filled with deep respect and gratitude for me.
Listening intently to each note, feeling even the breaths and silences, I quietly confronted the delicacy and beauty of Jobim's music.
I was deeply impressed by the clear, penetrating tone of Sadao's saxophone, and the strength and deep kindness that naturally emanated from it. His sound, which speaks beyond words, brought a solid spirituality and warmth to this album.
I hope this work reaches the hearts of those who listen to it as a small "consolation (Consolação)".
May the quiet light and beauty of Jobim's music transcend time and borders to warmly embrace someone's heart.
The music video for "A Felicidade," featuring Sadao Watanabe, has been released on the official YouTube channel. -
