Jason Paul Curtis’s Summer Album:
“Faux Bourgeois Cafe”
JASON PAUL CURTIS’S SUMMER ALBUMHITS
Jason’s full-length follow-up to 2012’s critically-acclaimed Lovers Holiday is already 28% funded and is on Kickstarter.com to raise a total of 6500.00 for production.Jason Paul Curtis’s Kickstarter Album Project: Faux Bourgeois Café – On March 5, breakout jazz singer/songwriter Jason Paul Curtis launched a campaign on Kickstarter.com to raise funds for his next album, Faux Bourgeois Café.  Funding is live and will end on April 2 at 6:52 pm EDT.Watch five original previews and listen to Jason talk about the project’s inspiration here.
Featuring 10 original songs and two covers, Faux Bourgeois Café will feature Jason’s signature vocals and writing style, with contemporary lyrics and the blend that garnered over 25 rave reviews in 2012’s first Lovers Holiday.

ABOUT JASON
On a December night in 2010 in Herndon, Virginia, Jason stood in for a vocalist friend at the Ice House Café. Four hours and 30 songs later, Swinglab was born.  Within three years, Jason and Swinglab (Ray Mabalot, piano, Woody Hume, drums and John Dahlman) were playing venues around DC, to include
TWINS JAZZ, GAYLORD NATIONAL HARBOR HOTEL, LANSDOWNE RESORT
BETHESDA BLUES & JAZZ, THE METROPOLITAN CLUB, THE NATIONAL BUILDING MUSEUM, THE WILLARD HOTEL and THE WHITE HOUSE

On November 16, 2012, Jason released his first album, Lovers Holiday, teaming with Swinglab and big band Swing Machine.  The result was international airplay, over 25 positive reviews and a (still) top-20-ranked vocal jazz albums of Amazon.com.

ABOUT THE ALBUM
To me, the sounds of a good summer wine party are Django gypsy jazz and bossa nova.  I’m inviting Swinglab back to the studio as well as world-class guitarist, John Albertson to bring something new to the genres.  – Jason

French gypsy jazz with solid male vocals – somewhat of a rarity, yet overdue as live American musical offering. Jason has spent the last six months penning tunes that infuse the modern – songs about texting – with the traditional – cool piano trio jazz and Django licks.  Themes are love (Back of My Mind), the city (Brooklyn July), and mostly summer (Summer Star, a new bossa by Jason featuring Woody Hume on percussion)

Jason will also cover two movie songs: Speak Softly, Love (1972, the Godfather) and One More Kiss Dear (1980, Bladerunner).

REWARDS
Pledge rewards start at $15.00 for a download card to $250.00 for a personalized ringtone and signed albums.

ABOUT KICKSTARTER
In July, 2012, Jason successfully funded his first album, Lovers Holiday, for 5000.00 and had all rewards on time and delivered to his 74 backers by November.

Kickstarter works only when the project meets its financial goal.

Faux Bourgeois Café’s goal is 6500.00.

I’m working with the best players in DC, and I promise you’ll love what we create.  Thanks for your support to make this album happen! – Jason

What The Press Is Saying About Você e Eu

C. Michael Bailey For Allaboutjazz.com
Hungarian vocalist Rozina Patkai has made her bones performing her “new-jazz version of bossa nova in Europe. Her voice possesses the same European cadence as an Edith Piaf, giving her singing, on some songs, a bit of a sepia patina. Six of the ten selections included her areAntonio Carlos Jobim compositions and, yes, “Garota de Ipanema” and “Desafinado” are in attendance, but Patkai is establishing her bossa bona fides and what better way than with these two songs, delivered with a fresh authority and confidence. Patkai is supported by her “new-wave” jazz quintet with color provided by Balazs Pecze’s softly round, open-bell trumpet and flugelhorn. Patkai gives interesting treatment to Charlie Chaplin’s smile and turns the Gershwin brothers on their ears by shining their light through the lens of Humberto Suarez on “El Hombre Que Uo Ame” (“The Man I Love”) as if the standard were written for the southern hemispheric climes. This is smartly performed music by a youthful and adventurous voice.

Doug Boynton for Girlsingers.comIf you look up the phrase “bossa nova,” along with the word “melancholy,” you get 14 million possibilities. And yet, I’d suggest that “melancholy” is perhaps the wrong word to describe the style. “Indifference, maybe?”

Rozina Pátkai – born in Italy, living now in Hungary, embraces the genre with passion (well, as much as it will allow), first making the transition from classical music training: “I got a jazz album from my friend…where I heard such vocals and music that I had never heard before.”

And then to bossa nova as an exchange student in London: “I went to Portobello Road and bought bossa nova albums at the market…I stared to collect them and this is when I fell in love with this genre.”

So complex – this fusion of samba and jazz, yet Ms. Pátkai, winner of last year’s “Independent Music Awards Vox Pop Poll,” is able to convey so much, from plaintive to upbeat, within its narrow confines.

“Chega de Saudade,” translated alternately as “No More Blues,” or “Enough of Longing,” is one of my favorite tracks on this album. The song is generally considered one of the first bossa nova songs, traced back to the late 50s.

Many of the tracks are instantly recognizable – including the requisite “Garota De Ipanema,” and a Spanish “El Hombre Que Yo Ame” (“The Man I Love”), backed with strings from the RTQ String Quartet.

Mátyás Tóth on guitar and Balázs Pecze on trumpet and flugelhorn get some well-deserved showcase time. The rest of the quintet include Márton Soós on bass and Balázs Cseh on drums and percussion.

Rozina PátkaiMs. Pátkai cites Brazilian singer Rosa Passos as a major influence. Here in the US, perhaps the most famous bossa nova singer is Astrud Gilberto, she of “Girl From Ipanema” fame. Of Ms. Gilberto, critic Scott Yanow says, “…she went remarkably far with a limited voice, a trademark hit, and understated charisma.”

That sells the genre short, I think, which calls for passion within its boundaries. From Wikipedia: “…the word “bossa” is old-fashioned slang for something that is done with particular charm, natural flair or innate ability.”

Closer, I think.

So – is it melancholy, or indifference that makes a good bossa nova?

I think this needs further study. Highest recommendation for this gem.

The classically trained, young Hungarian singer, Rozina Pátkai found her true voice as a jazz artist. For the past 3 years she has been thrilling fans with her bossa nova infused compositions, earning honors at numerous competitions, Jazz and Fringe festivals throughout Europe.
