Review - Sophie Reeve Designs - London

12/6/2020

 
Rory opened our wedding party in London with his incredible saxophone skills, giving a skilful and energetic performance to start the night with style. His jazzy tones playing over a mix of modern day classics from Smooth Operator to Despacito put smiles on the faces of every guest. Rory played a solo set for an hour and a half but also jumped on his feet and grabbed his sax to play along to some of the DJ's set throughout the night giving the crowd of dancers a musical treat every time he did. Many guests commented on how friendly and talented he was and I would highly recommend him for anyone considering Rory for their future celebrations.

Over the last few days, we've been running a little featurette on Red & Black Music's 4 projects. 💛❤️💜💙

With February being Rio Carnival month, it's worth mentioning Brazilian music has always been close to our heart 💚and in recognition of this, 3 of our projects have Brazilian alter-egos!

Diáspora Brasil adds cool cuts from the tropics 🌴 to the Latino fire of Diáspora 🔥 specialising in the myriad of styles emerging from Brazil from Rio's Samba and laid back Bossa Nova to Bahia's Baião and Samba-Reggae, blending Brazilian influences with jazz, funk and Saudade.
Have a listen to our takes on "Mais Que Nada" and "Lambada" on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/sets/diaspora-brasil

Fiesta Latina adds Festa Brasileira to the mix - dubbed "The Instant Brazilian Beach Party" 🥥🏝 a Caipirinha of classic and popular Brazilian tunes... 🍹🎹

Rory Bossa Nova takes the jazz south of the border. Its sax, guitar and cajon-based lineup focus on jazz and we released "Em Balança" (www.rorymusic.co.uk/em-balanca) 🎷
We've recently put a couple of new tracks on SoundCloud, 2 beautiful songs "Nostalgia Da Bossa" & "E Nada Mais" originally written by Brazilian composer Durval Ferreira:
