DUO CARAMURU/BALDANZA: Bossa in the Shadows
Labor, 2007
Pianist Fabio Caramuru and electric bassist Pedro Baldanza create a unique blend of Brazilian jazz, folk music and avant/modern classical ideas. Caramuru sounds elegant but powerful, while Baldanza lays down complex beds of choppy, chattering rhythm. Interesting stuff.

8. gently spinning sensation
9. trad. dance rhythm abstracted
10. deconstructed folk ballad
