Carlos Malta and Cliff Korman: Saudade do Paulo
by Katchie Cartwright
Like many mid-20th-century jazz albums, Saudade do Paulo was recorded live in the studio (Biscoito Fino studios in Rio de Janeiro), without the sort of overdubs and retakes more typical of 21st-century projects. The release is digital-only, but what it lacks in physicality it makes up for in substantial liner notes and a sound that is ...

From there, Fred moved to New York ...
