About the Album
The journey begins with rhythmic vigor. “Battle on F Street” is an example of musical metamorphosis: born as a melancholic bolero in 2004, it transfigures into an incendiary fast swing. Here, the album promotes a historic meeting: the legendary Hector Costita, superb at 90 years old at the time of the recording, engages in a tenor duel with the young and smoking Thomaz Souza. It is the history of jazz itself unfolding between the left and right channels, driven by Alex Duarte’s drums, which keep the tradition of the great masters alive.
