Beautiful guitar-based world jazz from this composer/guitarist. Joined by an A-list of guest stars, including Flora Purim & Airto Moreira. A mix of Latin (mostly Brazilian) and Middle Eastern influences filtered through Spanish classical guitar style. His expert playing keeps this from falling into New Age, though it’s close… *1. Deliciously relaxed homage to Jobim, a cool bossa-ish tune. 2. Starts slow, gets mid/up w/a definite Spanish flavor. 3. Relaxed and melodic w/light percussion & some good stringwork. 4. Mid Eastern percussion, mostly midtempo w/chimes, rainstick. *5. Starts low & sultry feat. Flora Purim on vocals. Picks up later. *6. Mid/up blend of various strings, a good showcase. *7. Upbeat Arabic-Flamenco blend then slower w/jazz flourishes. 8. Slow, piano & strings, very melodic. *9. Modern raga-infused world jam. Some really good playing. 10. A sound of Old Mexico, picks up & gets modern later on. 11. Slow, romantic w/lots of strings | ||
