Duduka Da Fonseca Trio: Plays Toninho Horta
by Dan Bilawsky
A disproportionate number of Brazilian-focused albums centered on one composer's work have been devoted to exploring the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, but he's hardly the only composer from that locale deserving of the tribute treatment. Countless others have become ambassadors who spread the wonders of Brazil through their music, and nobody is more qualified to ...
Claudio Roditi: Bons Amigos
by Dan Bilawsky
Trumpeter Claudio Roditi may have left Brazil long ago, but his homeland still resides deep inside his soul. On Bons Amigos, Roditi's trumpet speaks, sings and soars in service of songs put to paper by some of the finest writers in Brazilian music history.

Soulful Samba Transcendence: Brazilian Star in the US
If Pedro Moraes had a muse, she'd shake up sweaty samba bars, hips swaying, and turn heads dancing in the street, snaking her way from Rio's bohemian quarter to Bahia and Recife (and on to Mexico City and Liverpool). She'd boogie between the earthy and the erudite, with heady tropicalismo and brainy modernism. She'd embody the ...
Paul Meyers: Paul Meyers Quartet featuring Frank Wess
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
This is a very smooth outing from Paul Meyers, mixing standards--both the rather ripe ("I Cover The Waterfront") and the lesser-known (Billy Strayhorn's “Snibor")--with Meyers originals as showcases for his acoustic nylon string guitar. “Smooth" should not be taken to mean “smooth jazz": there is just the right amount of edge in the musicians' interaction to ...
