CD Reviews

BRAZILIAN JAZZ GREAT TRIO

Papetti | Mexico City | 12/22/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a superb album by super Pianist Helio Alves, fantastic Drummer Portinho and great Bassist Itaiguara.

Their performance is tight and skillful; with so much virtuosity.

Helio plays in the same elite as other Brazilian pianists like Tania Maria (actually the title of the album is based on Tania's composition Yatrata), Manfredo Fest, Dom Salvador, Aloisio Aguiar, etc. etc., so full of swing and explosivity but with finesse where required like in a couple of ballads: "Cancao de Amanhecer" and "Aninha".

Portinho is as great as ever like when he used to play with Manfredo Fest's band.

Itaiguara is a mature bassist and plays the rhythm section along with Portinho beautifully (he used to play with Brasil & Company for a while).

And their guests are just perfect for this effort;

Randy Brecker on Flugelhorn, Robin Eubanks on Trombone, and especially Romero Lubambo on Guitars.

In one word: Superb............."
