Prene, Yvonnick & Geoffrey Keezer
Jobim's World
The jazz canon is full of outstanding material for musicians to use as vehicles for improvisation. The music of Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and his peers has been especially ripe for interpretation since the 1960s. Chromatic harmonica specialist Yvonnick Prene looked to the Brazilian jazz school for inspiration for his new duo recording with piano virtuoso Geoffrey Keezer, entitled Jobims World. Yvonnick Prene is an expert at creating challenging but wonderfully listenable situations for his chromatic harmonica. On Jobims World, Prene finds a tremendous foil and collaborator in pianist Geoffrey Keezer as they reimagine the musical world of Antônio Carlos Jobim.
