Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to his Brazilian roots amid massive international success, the virtuosic arranger delivered an incredibly slick, highly orchestrated masterclass in samba-jazz. Driven by a deep, syncopated rhythm section and brilliant electric piano work, the complex horn charts elevate the traditional bossa nova aesthetic into a thoroughly modern, funk-inflected powerhouse. The record represents the absolute pinnacle of polished 1970s Brazilian crossover jazz.
