About the album

Marzieh Reyhani: vocals | Friederike Darius: flutes | Sjoerd Dijkhuizen: tenor sax, bass clarinet | Maarten van der Grinten: guitars | Jurandir Gomes: bass guitar, vocal | Enrique Firpi: drums, percussion | Alaor Soares: percussion

The last CD by Dirindi ‘Cantar do Jobim’ (BMCD 453, also available) was a homage to Antonio Carlos Jobim and consisted mainly of his lesser-known compositions.
For this new Jazz-Samba project, the group has once again not opted for the most obvious pieces. But it’s not only this that makes it an exceptional project. The international make-up of Dirindi, which includes Brazilians as well as three other nationalities, ensures a dynamically played, sparkling samba repertoire, mainly arranged by guitarist Maarten van der Grinten.
Dominating this musical combo is singer Marzieh Reyhani, whose beautiful, fluid voice of bell-like clarity will sometimes produce more than 500 words or syllables a minute.
Even more than with other Brazilian projects, jazz-lovers will be thrilled with this album, as each piece presents us with individual solo contributions of a high artistic standard. (Bob Hagen, liner notes)

De eerder uitgebrachte cd van Dirindi ‘Cantar do Jobim’ was een hommage aan Antonio Carlos Jobim en bestond voornamelijk uit minder bekende composities. Voor dit nieuwe jazz-samba project ‘Esse Samba’ heeft de groep wederom niet voor de meest voor de hand liggende stukken gekozen. Dit is niet het enige wat dit project buitengewoon maakt. De vele nationaliteiten die dit project kleuren zorgen voor een dynamisch spel en een sprankelend samba repertoire, voornamelijk gearrangeerd door gitarist Maarten van der Grinten. Degene die deze combinatie domineert is zangeres Marzieh Reyhani, met haar prachtige vloeiende kristalheldere stem
