One Quiet Night of Brazilian Vocals & Jazz Guitar with Max Hatt / Edda Glass and Adlai Alexander
The Old Church presents Max Hatt / Edda Glass and Adlai Alexander: One Quiet Night of Brazilian Vocals and Jazz Guitar.
"Bossa is so minimal and unaffected," says vocalist Edda Glass. "It was originally sung for a few friends in tiny Rio de Janeiro apartments. It's complex and tricky, but it sounds as easy and natural as humans whispering to one another. There's no schmaltz it's fresh, timeless." Max Hatt / Edda Glass will trade sets with Portland's Adlai Alexander who Jazz Now Magazine calls "a skilled writer, vibrant singer, and hotshot guitarist." His exquisitely intimate vocal and guitar work make him a natural fit for the show's Brazilian theme of One Quiet Night, a nod to "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" by Antonio Carlos Jobim.
"We live in a hyped up world" says guitarist Max Hatt. "We're over stimulated, measured out in sound bites and ringtones. It's the information age and we're swallowed up by this stuff. But is there any real communication going on, is there any intimacy? That's kind of what we're about."
Max Hatt / Edda Glass come to Portland as part of their coast-to-coast album-release tour, which includes performances at NYC's Lincoln Center, NPR Mountain Stage, and opening for world-renowned Brazilian guitarist, Romero Lubambo. The album, produced by Wilco's Pat Sansone, features the duo's award-winning and strikingly original material, described as "mesmerizing cinematic folk jazz" by ASCAP magazine. "The common thread," says Glass, "is that it's all intimate, conversational yet sophisticated music. And it's music that evokes a world, whether it's the beaches of 1960s Rio, or the Great Plains rolling out for miles."
