Dan Costa - Suite Tres Rios [CD]

2017 release. Recorded in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, jazz/world music album Suite Três Rios recaptures the essence of Brazilian rhythms, with shades of classical music. The name is inspired by the confluence of the Solimoes and Negro Rivers in the Amazon Rainforest, known as the Encontro das águas, reflecting the album's connection with Brazil's rich natural diversity. It also hints at Dan Costa's own background, born in London (UK) to a Portuguese and Italian family. Mixed by ECM engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug and mastered by John Greenham, the album features well-known artists such as Jaques Morelenbaum, Marcos Suzano, Ricardo Silveira, Teco Cardoso and Leila Pinheiro
