JOYCE & BAND

BRASIL

Joyce-vocals, guitar, Teco Cardoso-saxophone, clarinet, Rodolfo Stroeter-bass, Tutty Moreno-drums

‘You can do anything you want with your marvelous voice, you have bossa, tuning, improvisation, rhythm, musicality, femininity, courage, total command of the ball.’ When Tom Jobim says this about you then you are one of the greatest in Brazilian music and it has been like that over 40 years when it comes to Joyce. ‘If she weren’t the most complete of her generation of female vocalists, and inherently the most jazz savvy, she would still be one of Brazil’s best songwriters.’ (Jazziz Magazine). ‘A free-spirited Brazilian artist. In the music of Joyce, melodic grace, rhythmic propulsion and buoyant humor are inseparable.’ (The New York Times).
