Synopsis

Album Description
* Celebrated Brazilian bassist Nilson Matta presents his stellar new instrumental quintet featuring saxophonist Harry Allen and flutist Anne Drummond as soloists. * In five Matta originals, one Allen original, and three Brazilian standards, Matta celebrates the breezy airs and pulsating samba, bossa nova, and baiao rhythms of his homeland, displaying both astonishing virtuosity and soulful longing. * Since his arrival in New York in 1985, Matta has been at the center of the Brazilian movement in the US, having performed and recorded with Yo Yo Ma, Joe Henderson, Kenny Barron, and many others. * Matta's CD Forests, with Duduka Da Fonseca and Helio Alves, was nominated for a 2009 Latin Grammy Award in the Latin Jazz category.
