The amazing fado singer Ana Moura has recorded two Rolling Stones songs in a Fado style for Tim Ries’ (saxophonist and musical director for the Rolling Stones) new project.
The Jazz Review site says the following of this project:
Tim Ries has produced a sequel to his Rolling Stones Project. Mr. Ries is a jazz musician, an educator, a saxophonist, composer, arranger and a leader. He is also a sideman and a crossover expert, having been a part of the Rolling Stones touring band since 1999. Stones World: The Rolling Stones Project II is full of surprises.
And so it goes as you travel the world from Spain, through to Portugal, over to India, the Middle East, Japan, Brazil and the U.S. of A.
There are many excellent performances and some memorable arrangements of classic pop standards. A few of the more notable include a gorgeous vocal performance by Portuguese singer Ana Moura on the tune “No Expectations”(..)
Just by listenning the first 5 seconds of the video bellow, live performance of the Song “No Expectations”, you can see the great talent of Ana Moura and her band.
This song can be a great introduction to the world of Fado:
- Pay attention to the Portuguese guitar, the main instrument in Fado;
Ana Moura sings in English and Portuguese, it’s simply fantastic.
It is really worth of your time!!
