One of jazz’s most celebrated vocalists, Luciana Souza introduces New Moon, a lustrous new project with fellow São Paulo native Marcel Camargo on guitar and his arrangements incorporating string quartet. Made possible by Concepción & Irwin Federman, The Luisa & George Miller Family, and Sharon Yoerg, in memory of Dr. Robert Yoerg
Whether interpreting Brazilian Songbook standards, deploying her voice like a horn alongside an orchestra, or transforming beloved poems into original songs, Brazilian vocalist Luciana Souza is a musician of the highest order. Long based in Los Angeles, she is perhaps best known for a GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY-winning series of intimate recordings pairing her with an extraordinary roster of Brazilian jazz guitarists, including Romero Lubambo, Toninho Horta, and Marco Pereira.
Her latest project, New Moon, takes that intimate duo format into lustrous new territory with guitarist and composer Marcel Camargo, a fellow São Paulo native now based in Los Angeles. He has toured internationally with Michael Bublé and led, produced, and arranged vocalist Gretchen Parlato’s Flor project. He has also shared the stage and studio with artists such as Sérgio Mendes, Herb Alpert, and Macy Gray. New Moon pairs the duo with a string quartet, fulfilling a longtime dream of Souza’s. Together, Souza and Camargo, who also hails from an eminent musical family, reimagine Brazilian classics and debut new co-written songs. His delicately calibrated arrangements create lyrical soundscapes rich in texture and emotion for one of jazz’s most alluring singers.
