Jan Lundgren & Yamandu Costa: Inner Spirits
by Neil Duggan
They are probably not the most obvious pairing, but pianist Jan Lundgren from Sweden and guitarist Yamandu Costa from Brazil comprehensively prove that the obvious is not always the best. Their album, Inner Spirits, displays a rare kind of chemistry and mutual understanding that defines the concept of musical partnership. It is often the ...
Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin: Brasil
by Edward Blanco
Friends and musical partners since the '70s, guitarist Lee Ritenour and pianist Dave Grusin continue their collaboration on Brasil, thanks to Ritenour's Brazilian wife Carmen, who was influential in recommending the project, and to the many outstanding Brazilian players who grace the album.

Paula Maya: Rio de Janeiro
by Richard J Salvucci
It is important to understand that this is a Brazilian recording which, like singer Paula Maya, made its way to the United States. Maya, who now calls Austin, Texas home, writes, plays, teaches and sings. She has a significant number of previous recordings--nearly a dozen--to her credit, but this one is a bit different.

Ron Carter: Anything Goes
by Arnaldo DeSouteiro
Ronald Levin Carter (born Ferndale, Michigan, on May 4, 1937) needs no introduction. Let's just say that he is the bassist's bassist. On Ron's hands, the bass and the man become the same entity, the same person. Played by Ron Carter, the acoustic bass sounds like... Ron Carter! That's why he is one of the three ...
Larry Nozero: Time
by Chris May
Here is an odd one. Originally released on the short-lived Detroit label Strata in 1975, Larry Nozero's Time defies categorization. First-generation spiritual jazz, Henry Mancini, Motown, strings (real and synthed), the Swingle Singers, Braziliana and Shaft era Isaac Hayes jostle around the mic, along with Sibylline hints of Kamasi Washington. Is it for real? Is it ...

From Showboat-to-Samba: Transculturation of Brazilian Music in America
by Troy Hoffman
By 1957, jazz music was fully stretching out and the bossa nova movement was one of the many impacts. American artists of all types had been expanding their knowledge of international cultures for quite some time, specifically Latin countries and the musical rhythms driving them--one of the earliest being Cuban culture, which began popularizing in the ...
