Primer álbum de 'Brazilian jazz' del elegante compositor estadounidense John Finbury, profesional de la música desde 1979, en paralelo al ejercicio de la abogacía, radicado en Andover, Massachusetts.
Las cuatro canciones: "A chama verde", "Not to worry", "My old frend" y "SambaDan" (editadas en 2014 en el EP "The green flash") fueron nominadas para The American Songwriting Awards de 2015 y “SambaDan” obtuvo el premio como Best Instrumental.
La canción “A chama verde” fue una de las candidatas al Latin Grammy Award en la categoría “Song of the Year!”.

"Imagine an American songwriter finding a young Brazilian-American singer with a captivating voice and making a record with world-class musicians, and you’re part of the dream of this album-“Imaginário.”
John Finbury needed just the right voice to sing his Brazilian-style songs in native Portuguese, as crafted by lyricist Ned Claflin. Luckily, he found Marcella Camargo. No one anticipated how good these songs were going to sound. “You write them,” John says, “and you hope they come alive.” The results, recorded and co-produced by Bob Patton, are amazingly alive, thanks in large measure to the players. And then of course there is the voice of Marcella Camargo who sings these songs of love lost and found with a beauty and sensuality that will bring you back, time and again."

"Sometimes you get lucky and capture just the right combination of song, talent, and heart. Is it too early to say “classic”? No. “Imaginario” is real. Enjoy!" Ned Claflin

"John Finbury is a Grammy and Latin Grammy-nominated composer based in Andover, Massachusetts. His earliest music education and influence came from his father, Herbert, a musician (violin) and one of the first jazz composition students at the Schillinger School in Boston, which would later become Berklee College Of Music. In his teenage years, John played rock & roll drums, most notably at the “The Bitter End” in New York City. In college, John studied classical piano and music theory and composition at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge and Boston University.
Seeking another connection to music, John ran a legendary movie house and concert hall in Salem, MA, hosting performances by BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Richard Thompson, REM, Eric Burton and The Animals, Alan Holdsworth and Pat Metheny, among many others. John was a trial attorney for 37 years and retired in 2023 to devote himself full-time to music composition and recording.
John married his lifelong muse Patty Brayden, who sings and is a frequent collaborator as a lyricist; they often performed locally as part of the Jazz Sextet “Day For Night”. John’s old friend Ned Claflin (who has also worked with Madonna and Martin Sexton) is another important associate in the lyrics department.
In what he recognizes as his first professional commission as a composer, in 1979, John wrote and recorded a soundtrack for “Portraits from the 2 O’clock Lounge”, a TV documentary by Fred Simon produced for WGBH Boston. The R&B and pop songs he wrote and recorded in the early 80s have garnered current critical attention, with many being acquired in 2014 by Fervor Records. This renewed interest in his music sparked a new era in John’s composing focused on his longstanding interest in the beautiful music of Brazil."
