Catina De Luna, Otmaro Ruíz, Roswell Rudd, Sheila Jordan

A two-fer on this week's edition of Caminhos do Jazz... First up is Lado B Brazilian Project 2 (Sunnyside, 2025), from Brazilian singer-pianist Catina DeLuna and Venezuelan guitarist and arranger-producer Otmaro Ruiz, the second installment of the illustrious duo's B-side project. Read our review here. The idea of the project is to interpret what we might call Great Brazilian Songbook—compositions by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque, Dorival Caymmi, Ivan Lins, Ary Barroso and their ilk—but focusing on their lesser-known works and giving them an infusion of LA jazz. The B-side idea extends to works by Brazilian composers deserving of wider recognition, including Delia Fischer. Fischer's "Aluvião" (Floodwaters) is an album highlight. (For more on Fischer, check our review of her Beyond Bossa [Origin, 2024] here.)

The second half of the program continues a well-deserved outpouring of love for Sheila Jordan, our dear departed jazz canary, with selections from Roswell Rudd's Flexible Flyer (Black Lion, 1974), a gloriously off-the-beaten-path recording Jordan made as part of the trombonist's ensemble, featuring pianist Hod O'Brien, bassist Arild Andersen and drummer Barry Altschul. The album contains some delightfully wiggy compositions by Rudd and O'Brien.
