Movimento, Ed Johnson’s latest solo release, fully realizes the tight ensemble performance of Ed’s touring band, NOVO TEMPO. Novo Tempo features brass man JOHN WORLEY, KRISTEN STROM on woodwinds, guitar/mandolin wizard SCOTT SORKIN, and Canadian pianist and songstress JENNIFER SCOTT. The rhythm sections features Canadian bass star RENE WORST, drummer MARK IVESTER, and percussionist JEFF BUSCH.

"This is a delightful bossa nova album with no concessions to rock, electronica or hip-hop influences that may have crept into the music of Brazil over the decades. ... The tracks are perfect summer listening with sunny remembrances of perhaps the first time that the general public heard The Girl From Ipanema. Johnson is a most fluent nylon-string acoustic guitarist and is a pleasant vocalist. His high range resembles that of Milton Nascimento. Canadian singer/pianist Jennifer Scott is also a standout on both background and duet vocals. ...a tribute to the almost lost era of the Brazilian music of first generation bossa."
