Nilson Matta: Walking With My Bass
by Ken Dryden
Nilson Matta has long been considered one of the best bassists to emerge on the Brazilian music scene, primarily as a member of Trio de Paz.

When the great wordsmith in the sky invented the word “gorgeous" She might have been thinking of this album, a celebration of all that is lovely about Brazilian music, from samba and choro through bossa nova and jazz. On the face of it, Hendrik Meurkens is not the most likely outsider to have gotten ...
