Album Notes & Community Reviews
Aimed specifically at breaking into the North American market, the Brazilian master enlists elite jazz fusion personnel鈥攊ncluding Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock鈥攖o reimagine his complex acoustic compositions. The pristine, sophisticated production perfectly frames his astonishing vocal range and unique melodic sensibility. The album successfully introduced his deeply emotional, progressive MPB sound to a global jazz audience without compromising its inherent Brazilian essence.
