Adam Dunning’s “Sunset Monkeys” has been described as “cool, sultry, sexy, sophisticated.” Already blessed with a stream of outstanding reviews the world over, Dunning recorded in Rio de Janeiro with the great 60s Bossa Nova legends including Roberto Menescal, Joao Donato, and Brazil’s contemporary artists. His originals are melodic and relaxed, as are his adaptations of some of Brazil’s greatest classics. His songs have environmental undertones, with renowned world environmentalist David Suzuki featuring in the track “Sunset Monkeys”. And Warner Brothers backed his French adaptation to the classic Gershwin track “’S Wonderful”.

Introducing a refreshing new style, addictive compositions, and seemingly effortless vocals sung in both English and Portuguese, “Sunset Monkeys” includes popular tracks"Sunset Monkeys", "Leblon", “Mount Eliza”, and “Green”, which are catching on in Japan, Brazil, and the US.  

"While people like Bebel Gilberto have done great things subtly updating the classic Bossa sound with all manner of electronic trickery, Dunning goes back to basics, making truly beautiful and seemingly effortlessly authentic music that sounds like it comes from another era entirely. And the guy sings like a young Tony Bennett. No shit." Expletive Undeleted
