Mili Bermejo remains one of the most, if not the absolutely most, emotive singer of Latin Jazz music currently recording," wrote Cadence reviewer Alan Bargebuhr. Her latest project, Love Songs of the Americas, features cellist Eugene Friesen, pianist Tim Ray and bassist Dan Greenspan. These accomplished performers at the peak of their artistic abilities open the hearts of audiences with musical beauty and deep emotional power which listeners have described as “spiritual”. Using musical language authentic to each song and informed by jazz and other world traditions, Love Songs of the Americas reveals the unique facets of the four seasoned musicians while placing ensemble playing at the core of their performance. Songs in Spanish, English and Portuguese feature the vocal artistry of Mili Bermejo enhanced by the soulful cello of Eugene Friesen. Tim Ray and Dan Greenspan have played together for 25 years and share a musical empathy which transports the music with elegance and grace. |
