'Escape' by Marcos Valle highlights his continuing and considerable contribution to Brazilian bossa nova music. Valle was fundamental in defining the sound back in the sixties and is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest Brazilian songwriters. His fans are wide ranging and his songs have been covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Bebel Gilberto. You may well know his classic 'Summer Samba' as it was used in a Guinness advertising campaign.
Marcos Valle's first album on Far Out Recordings was titled 'Nova Bossa Nova'. The implications in the name were clear on hearing the music, with the sweet melodic bossa of the title track 'Nova Bossa Nova' combining with a fresh and contemporary feel. The 4Hero remix of the album track 'Escape', adds a progressive twist to Valle's modern Brazilian classic sound, and demonstrates the music's crossover from serious jazzclubs to club dancefloors.
