Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting more than a decade after their monumental collaborative debut, the American saxophonist and Brazilian guitarist revisit the cool, syncopated rhythms of bossa nova. The recording maintains a subdued, acoustic intimacy, featuring lush vocal deliveries and the unmistakable, breathy tenor saxophone tone that defined the genre's international explosion.
