Brazilliance x 4

The repertoire on 'Brazilliance x 4' is as classy as the players - Claudio Roditi (trumpet & flugelhorn), Leonardo Cioglia (bass), Duduka da Fonseca (drums), Helio Alves (piano) - a jazz standard ("Tune Up"), five pieces by Brazilian luminaries (Johnny Alf, the late Victor Assis Brasil, Joao Donato, the late Durval Ferreira, and Raul de Souza), and four Roditi compositions.

All of these tunes are treated in the best bossa nova tradition, which as this is written is a half-century old and as fresh and vital as ever.

"Stellar jazz project...warm horn sound...deliciously articulated solos."- Billboard
