Sergio Pereira, voice/guitars/violão/percussion/composer/arranger/producer; Luis Guerra, piano/keyboards; Ariel Ramirez, electric bass; Mauricio Zottarelli, drums/percussion/arranger/co-producer; Chipi Chacon, trumpet/flugelhorn. SPECIAL GUESTS on “One for Pat”: Romero Lumbambo, violão; Ivan ‘Melon’ Lewis, piano; Ivan Ruiz Machado, bass; Jose San Martin, drums.
Still smiling from his 2024 win of the World Entertainment Award in Hollywood for his previously released “Finesse” album, Pereira was overjoyed when his music was named Best Tropical Album.
This gifted, Brazilian guitarist, Sergio Pereira, rebounds with another album of music to sooth and inspire the soul called, “Bossa+”. It was recorded in Valencia, Spain last November of 2023, and captures elements of jazz, Bossa Nova, samba and pop in a pleasing package of Latin music that reflects Pereira’s life experiences and culture.
On Track #2, Sergio’s pleasant vocals enter to sing his original song called “Sea of Love.” Pereira has composed every song on this album, with one ‘cover’ tune, the familiar “There Will Never Be Another You.” Chip Chacon’s trumpet takes an inspired solo on “Sea of Love,” one of six original tunes on this album.
On a rhythmic tune called “One for Pat” Pereira employs his scat vocals over the rhythm section created by his special guests, Lumbambo, Lewis, Machado and Martin. Sergio Pereira writes very romantic and melodic music. This is easy listening, Latin jazz at its best! Ivan Rutz Machado takes a noteworthy bass solo and Sergio’s guitar solo follows with gusto and sincerity. In fact, all the music this talented man presents is full of honest emotion. He lays his heart on our chest so we can feel the beat, and he tells stories that are full of life and love.
