About the Album

In 2004, Orlando Haddad and Patricia King began a collaboration with the late arranger Bill Zaccagni to create a large-scale work written specially for Minas, incorporating original compositions with traditional Brazilian repertoire and enhanced by big band and strings. Symphony in Bossa features more than 50 musicians, including The Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia, conducted by trumpeter Terell Stafford. It is a monumental achievement and Minas' 7th full length recording. The music includes fresh takes on old classics such as The Girl from Ipanema, Quiet Nights, Triste, Waters of March, and introduces three Minas originals, Sinal Verde, Amazonia, and Only the Moon and the Stars. Symphony in Bossa features many guest artists, including Brazilians Leonardo Lucini (bass), Adriano Santos (drums), Z Maurcio (percussion), and Philadelphia's own Larry McKenna (saxophone), John Swana (trumpet), Steve Tirpak (trombone) and Tony Salicandro (flute).
