Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded in France and conducted by Jean-Claude Petit, the phenomenal Brazilian multi-instrumentalist debuted with a staggeringly ambitious fusion of MPB, avant-garde jazz, and modern classical orchestration. The complex, highly technical compositions are laced with eerie synthesizers, sweeping strings, and intensely virtuosic acoustic guitar work. The visionary recording instantly established him as a profoundly progressive force in global music.
