The album “In Bossa Nova Colors” by Artur Bayramgalin is a collection of six different shades of Bossa Nova style.
The album opens with the track “The Color of Joy,” featuring a positive melody in a calm and soothing tempo. The theme, played on the flugelhorn right from the start, continues throughout the composition in variations with the guitar and improvisations on the flugelhorn, creating an incredibly cozy and warm atmosphere with its sound.
The next track, “Pink Pearl,” leans more towards Smooth Jazz Bossa. The sounds of the saxophone, imitating the noise of the waves and the cries of seagulls at the beginning, create an atmosphere of peaceful relaxation on the ocean shore. A gentle female vocal performs the main theme of this track. The guitar and saxophone take turns playing a simple melody in the traditions of Bossa Nova.
“Blue Morpho / Butterfly” is a new version of the song “Butterfly” by Artur Bayramgalin, done in the style of Acid Jazz Bossa. The bass riff at the beginning sets the rhythm for the entire composition. The bright flute melody is followed by the main theme on the guitar, which sounds completely new in this version. The trumpet adds passion and a touch of madness, typical of the Acid Jazz style.
You can unwind with the composition “Noche Blanca en Ibiza,” as the name itself suggests. A warm summer night in Spain, the sounds of the accordion and guitar, a pleasant melody – everything sets the mood for relaxation.
A lot of drums, double bass, Hammond organ, and guitar – it’s not often that such a combination of instruments is heard together in the Bossa Nova style. All of this can be heard in the track “Viva Magenta.”
“Nice Morning Bossa” is a new interpretation of the track “Nice Morning” by Artur Bayramgalin. The composition creates an atmosphere of early morning, the first rays of sunlight that, like the lyrics of this song, fill you with warmth and positivity for the day ahead.
