"An overall good album for the jazz or brazilian enthusiast, but only a few tracks that I absolutely love. These tracks, however, I can listen to on and on and have yet to grow tired of. "Capoeira Love Affair" is a beautiful song, haunting portuguese vocals in the background. "Suco" is a typical upbeat latin jazz piece; I love the bass and piano, and the nice muted brass. The rest of the album, however, cannot be played extensively without growing tired of the boring and overly-optimistic lyrics. Nice instrumentation; unfortunately the vocals overwhelm."
