SUMMARY:Freddie Bryant\, solo guitar
DESCRIPTION:Freddie Bryant’s latest recording project is his most intimate and his first complete album of solo guitar. Solo Bossa features 14 of his original compositions written over the last four decades. The title refers to bossa nova and many of the tracks have that classic feel made famous in the early 1960’s. The music takes the journey from bossa to samba as well as baiao\, bolero\, waltz and a sultry ballad-bossa in 7/4. \nSolo Bossa was preceded by Upper West Side Love Story an epic song cycle featuring a nonet fronted by the acclaimed jazz singer\, Carla Cook. It’s a double CD/90min with sixteen songs with his “passionate lyrics and colorful music.” (Carlo Wolff/Downbeat). It was featured in the NY Daily News and Downbeat listed it as “Best CDs of 2023.”  The all-star cast also includes Regina Carter on violin and saxophonists Donny McCaslin and Steve Wilson along with strings and a stellar rhythm section.
