Bastien Mayras - Salaam Bossa (2014)

Bastien Mayras, french musician, plays flute since the age of 6. Self tought musician, he plays also bass and saxophones in different projects.
He fell in love with jazz and brasilian music many years ago. After being playing with all the brasilian musicians of Paris for several years, he planned to record an album in tribute to the brasilian music and culture. He composed and arranged all the songs and playes flute, alto flute and piccolo on this album.
Salaam bossa is a jazz/brasilian album offering either strong tracks with great arrangements and solos or very quiet tracks played with deep feeling and musicality. This project is a colored and spicy album, filled with samba, bossa nova, but also some bahian rythms, giving swing and energy to the tunes, with virtuosity and delicacy. It's been recorded during a live session, as a meeting between friends coming from different backgrounds and cultures playing together in a grateful tribute to the brasilian and the jazz music.
This is the kind of album you can listen very carrefully or leave it spreading around peaceful vibes when you want to relax and chill out.
