Featuring fellow Brazilian musicians Mauricio Maestro (who wrote/co-wrote four of the songs), Nana Vasconcelos and Tutty Moreno, and some of the most in-demand stateside players including Michael Brecker, Joe Farrell and Buster Williams, the recordings for Natureza took place at Columbia Studios and Ogerman produced the album, provided the arrangements and conducted the orchestra. This album was going to be Joyce's international breakthrough release… but it never came out… “Listen to "Feminina" once and it exquisitely captures the thrill of creation, a new song, new hope, even a new love. Hear it again from the purview of four decades and that joy is still there.” NPR “Absolutely blew my mind.” Gilles Peterson “This is from a previously unreleased album of Joyce from ‘77 called Natureza. This came out on Record Store Day and I hope it gets a wider release…Let’s all lobby Far Out to actually release it!” Floating Points This album was going to be Joyce’s international breakthrough release… but it never came out…” Wax Poetics
