Album Notes & Community Reviews

Airto's debut as a bandleader, 'Natural Feelings', captures the Brazilian percussionist's innovative fusion of jazz, funk, and Brazilian rhythms. Recorded in New York with an impressive lineup including Ron Carter, Sivuca, Hermeto Pascoal, and Flora Purim, the album showcases Airto's unique percussive vocabulary and collaborative spirit. The track "Terror" exemplifies the album's experimental edge, blending Brazilian influences with the burgeoning jazz fusion sound. Its striking cover art, featuring details from Hieronymus Bosch's painting "St. John of Patmos," further underscores the album's distinctive character.
