SOUL WHISPER – SINGS FERNANDO PESSOA
Weis defines Soul Whisper as the “construction of a folk-oriented soundscape, but always with jazz influences”, which are her musical roots. The recording process of this album was intense: “Fernando Pessoa has changed the way I think and live my life, said Weis. He brought out emotion in me I didn’t know I had. A vulnerability in my voice that I hadn’t heard before”. The album itself is unprecedented: it’s the first time that a foreigner has set to music, a full album of Pessoa’s poetry. Fernando Pessoa was the most important Portuguese writer in the 20th Century and the album was given the approval of Fernando Pessoa’s nephew Luis Miguel Rosa Dias (1931-2019) who witnessed many of the recordings. Produced by legendary Portuguese musician Rui Veloso, the 11 tracks co-written by Tammy Weis on this very special recording feature Rui Veloso, acclaimed bass player Carlos Barreto harmonica virtuoso Antonio Serrano, guitarist João Só, guitarra player Luis Guerreiro, and special guests, music legend Randy Bachman and his son, Tal Bachman.
