A staple of New York City's jazz and Afro-Cuban scenes over the last five decades, acclaimed flutist Andrea Brachfeld celebrates the sounds of Brazilwith this spirited tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim. Along with arrangements of classics such as "Waters of March," "Girl From Ipanema" and "Ligia,"Brachfeld offers a look into her writing partnership with frequent collaborator Bill O'Connell through their Brazil-inspired compositions, "Espaço Aberto,""Sonhos e Cores," and "Triste e Solitaria." With bandmates: pianist McConnell, guitarist Roni Ben-Hur, bassists Harvie S & Lincoln Goines, anddrummer/percussionists Jason Tiemann, T. Portinho, and Chembo Corniel, Brachfeld creates an inspired, deeply grooving collection of Braziliangems. "This band’s balance of taut cohesion and adventurous improvisation is mighty impressive."
