ROMAN ADVENTURE
Bianca Morales, voc, UMO Jazz Orchestra, cond. Sven Nygård,
BEEM Jazz Combo
“Roman Adventure” is full of swinging, rhythmic, romantic and whimsical original compositions by Bianca and her writing partner, Maria Parr, with some music composed by American composer/ musician Larry Price and by Finnish composer/musician Klaus Roos. The English lyrics, based on Maria’s original Finnish lyrics, are written by Judy Lamppu, a native Los Angelino. This CD is considered to be a tribute to the great jazz classics of the fifties and sixties, with wonderful arrangements by Sven Nygård.
Bianca Morales – half Afro-Cuban, half Finnish – is a renowned recording and performing jazz vocalist and composer. At the age of 14, she had already started her jazz career, both singing and recording with Grani Big Band. Bianca was well-established by the age of 18 after winning MTV 3’s (one of Finland’s main national TV channels) Spring Tune Contest in 1984 with an original composition that she co-wrote, a reggae tune titled “Our Party.” Bianca continues to be a full-time jazz performer continuing a busy performance schedule, both in Finland and many other countries around the world including the U.S. As she spends more and more months in her second home in Los Angeles, her local fan base is growing rapidly.
The UMO Jazz Orchestra is nowadays regarded as one of the Europe’s leading big bands. It has made numerous concert tours a.o. a great European tour with Natalie Cole. Amongst conductors and soloists are legendary jazz artists like Dizzy Gillespie, Gil Evans, Joe Williams and Michael Brecker.
The Beem Jazz Combo features leading Finnish jazz musicians and from the USA composer, saxophonist Larry Price.
