Ana Caram - Blue Bossa - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

After eight albums for a variety of labels, New York-born Alexis Cole joined audiophile specialist Chesky Records in 2014 for A Kiss In The Dark, which showcased the company's groundbreaking binaural recording technique. Capturing Cole and her band (guitarist Saul Rubin, saxophonist and clarinet player Dan Block, bassist Pat O'Leary, and drummer Phil Stewart) live using a single hi-res microphone, A Kiss In The Dark found the velour-voiced singer taking a deep dive into ancient jazz history by putting a contemporary spin on songs mainly from the late 1910s and early 1920s. Ranging from finger-clicking swingers ('Chicago, That Toddlin' Town') and evocative blues ('Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out') to Dreamy ballads ('Indian Summer'), A Kiss In The Dark shows why the golden-voiced Alexis Cole belongs to America's highest tier of jazz vocalists. The album is reissued on SACD Hybrid Stereo and will be released on 17 October, 2025. Details 1. Ain't We Got Fun 2. Whip-Poor-Will 3. Do You Ever Think of Me? 4. Limehouse Blues 5.

Now considered a bossa nova classic, 1989's Rio After Dark was São Paulo singer/guitarist Caram's debut for Chesky Records, a New York tag renowned for it's high-resolution audiophile recordings. Caram was mentored by the legendary bossa nova pioneer Antônio Carlos Jobim, who joined his protege on two of the album's fifteen cuts, playing piano and singing background vocals on Caram's versions of his classic songs 'Meditation' and 'Anos Dourados (It Looks Like December).' Another star cameo came from the Grammy-winning Cuban-American reed player Paquito D'Rivera, who plays saxophone and clarinet on the tracks 'La Cumbia' and 'O Que Vier Eu Traço.' Accompanied by pianist/composer/producer David Chesky, flutist Steve Sacks, bassist David Finck, and percussionists Carlos Alberto de Oliveira and Café, Caram's sinuous vocals and syncopated fretwork showed she was an authentic new voice continuing the bossa nova tradition.
