That quest is ongoing (and as yet unsuccessful!), but it took me, around the houses, via Minnie Riperton &#8211; and her astonishing \u2018whistle register\u2019 singing &#8211; to Honest Jon\u2019s Records\u2019 website, where I first learned of this latest archival Joyce release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn a bit more, try this link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/joycemoreno.bandcamp.com\/album\/natureza-produced-arranged-conducted-by-claus-ogerman\">https:\/\/joycemoreno.bandcamp.com\/album\/natureza-produced-arranged-conducted-by-claus-ogerman<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or there\u2019s this, from Far Out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2c9jAU8nUY0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=PLOZYbYEYUmciKJNJmKjlCdmULwn7OIlIt\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As I\u2019m typing this I\u2019m just starting to listen to the stuff that\u2019s already our online. There\u2019s an epic eleven minute version of her famous Feminina track, and &#8211; what I\u2019m listening to right now &#8211; a piece called Descompassadamente. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d describe this latternumber as pastoral prog samba; it\u2019s in 7\/8, and seems to be a cyclic groove, with Buster William\u2019s rich double bass very prominent in the mix, and layers of acoustic guitar, percussion and Joyce\u2019s (and other) harmonised vocals. Lovely!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I\u2019m on to the epic Feminina. This song, so joyful, and familiar to fans like myself, starts off sounding just like the versions I know, with Joyce\u2019s dextrously nimble guitar work. But once again the lush low register timbre of Buster Williams\u2019 upright bass adds a new dimension to proceedings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two teasers are mastered by Al Schmidt. And they sound great, albeit it I\u2019m currently listening over my iPhone! But I read on the bandcamp link above that the remainder of the album has been \u2018restored\u2019 from a cassette mix Joyce had. Sounds a bit ominous! Audio cleaning and restoration software these days is amazing. Let\u2019s hope it does the remainder of the material justice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardcore devotee of such music as I am, I\u2019ve simply got to have this! So I\u2019ll be putting in my pre-order as soon as I can. as I\u2019m typing this Feminina is passing the 7:30 mark, and electric keys and what sounds like vibes have entered the otherwise cyclic vamp mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love groove music, as I most certainly do, and the terrific artistry of Joyce, and that delightful hinterland where \u201870s jazz and Brazilian music converge, this is definitely one to check out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I normally tend to find out about such things as this forthcoming release on Far Out long after the event.
