Perhaps best known for his work as the compelling counter-voice to singer and wife Stacey Kent, saxophonist Jim Tomlinson is recognized as a distinctive saxophone voice in his own right. His new CD demonstrates a huge step forward in technique and interpretation, highlighted by the obvious empathy between the band members - Colin Oxley, John Pearce, Simon Thorpe and Chris Wells. But why Brazil? Jim says: 'I chose these tunes because I love them and I had gotten into the habit of only playing tunes that I love...though Joao and Astrud Gilberto were the definitive performers of the idiom, Antonio Carlos Jobim is the greatest composer of Bossa Novas and his tunes are unavoidable and utterly desirable when compiling such an album. Features Stacey Kent on vocals.
