Brazilian songstress Ros�lia de Souza joins forces with pianist Peter Rosendal (Denmark), bassist Craig Earle (Canada), and drummer Jonas Johansen (Denmark) to form Ros�lia de Souza Quarteto 55�, presenting their self-titled debut album of twelve tracks, set for release on November 14, 2025, on Storyville Records. This vibrant ensemble blends Brazilian, North American, and Scandinavian musical traditions into a fresh, irresistible sound. After three years of sold-out concerts, the album promises a musical experience that radiates energy, sophistication, and joy. The album balances original compositions with Brazilian classics, brought vividly to life with guest appearances. Hans Ulrik's saxophone enriches the opening Samba Do Amor Que N�o Existe, the classic O Neg�cio � Amar, and the reflective Dormilh�o, while Flemming Agerskov contributes flugelhorn on Maria and trumpet on Sugar Reef. Tracks such as Choro Sambado and Dorme, Dorme Meu Menino showcase the quartet's fluid interplay and Ros�lia's agile phrasing, highlighting a unique blend of bossa nova elegance and jazz spontaneity. Named after Copenhagen's latitude, 55� reflects the group's geographical and cultural meeting point, where diverse traditions converge. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1966, Ros�lia de Souza is recognized worldwide as one of the most compelling interpreters of samba, bossa nova, and Brazilian music traditions. With thirteen albums to her name, she has collaborated with icons such as Marcos Valle and Roberto Menescal, bringing the essence and refinement of 1960s Rio into the present. Her performances are infused with silk-smooth vocals, precise control, and a modern sensibility, bridging deep-rooted Brazilian tradition with explorations into jazz. The trio supporting Ros�lia adds distinctive character and depth. Peter Rosendal blends folk, world, and jazz influences, enriched by his extensive experience living and recording in Brazil. Craig Earle anchors the group with a warm, agile, and virtuosic bass sound. Jonas Johansen, whose career spans more than four decades and over 200 albums, brings orchestral precision and a truly global perspective to the music. After years of international performances, Ros�lia de Souza Quarteto 55� is ready to bring their unique sound to the global stage, inviting audiences everywhere to experience Brazilian jazz reimagined through cross-cultural collaboration.
