TANIA MARIA & HR BIGBAND It's Only Love

After BHM signed jazz giant Billy Cobham on the drums, another big name becomes member of the BHM artist roster. Tania Maria, the “Grande Dame of Brazil” celebrates her live cd debut on BHM with “It’s Only Love” featuring the Frankfurt Radio Bigband.
For the excellent pianist and vocalist, it is her 26th album, which she now releases on BHM after stops at Concord or Blue Note. Jörg Achim Keller,
the conductor, adds special drive to the well-known compositions. “Big Band Samba” with Tania Maria at the piano and the vocals – rarely did a big band produce such a hearty Brazilian sound!
