Defore­station

Joan Reinders

Bleeding Amazonia Part 4: Deforestation by Joan Reinders confronts the crisis of deforestation in the Amazon, using Joao Driessen's poignant tenor saxophone solo to represent the emotional weight of the loss. Paired with Thiago de Mello's poem "É uma questão de amor", the piece blends jazz and orchestral elements to evoke the destruction of the rainforest. Lilian Vieira adds a soulful vocal layer, while the Millennium Jazz Orchestra, with Dirk Balthaus, Bart Tarenskeen, and Felix Schlarmann in the rhythm section, drives the composition forward. The brass and reeds, including Gerlo Hesselink and Bas Konings, intensify the emotional depth of the performance. Recorded at Wisseloord Studios in 2021.
