Few trombone players in Steve Turre’s generation have pushed the boundaries of their instrument further than he has. Born of the blue, hard bopping swing of JJ Johnson and the human speech-like growls and smears...

Helio Alves – Musica
Review written by: Raul da Gama Pianist Helio Alves’ playing is marked by the unsurpassed beauty of expression. The poetry of this expression is pronounced and manifests itself in the epic lyricism and melodious splendour...
More Noteworthy Recordings of 2011
Most fans, even aficionados of contemporary music, still only vaguely know the great trumpeter Claudio Roditi as the “Brazilian who joined Arturo Sandoval in Dizzy Gillespie’s United Nations Orchestra”. It is a pity that Roditi’s musical reputation rests on so narrow a spectrum in his enormous musical career. Few know, for instance, that Roditi was one of the first Brazilian musicians to relocate in the United States of America: in 1970 as a matter of fact [...]

New CDs – October 2011 – Part 2
Claudio Roditi has just put out a superb recording. Bons Amigos is the work of a true Master, surrounded by his best friends, his very special horns, and his very special bandmates.

As humble as only himself could be, Roditi embodies the best of the best in a Jazz artist [...]

Um Abraço Pra Claudio – An Interview with Claudio Roditi
My palms are wet, but I am not nervous—just uncontrollably excited to be talking with Claudio Roditi, an iconic figure in music. With Brasilian guitarist, Ricardo Silveira and percussionist Duduka da Fonseca, another Brasilian and long-time resident of the Big Apple, Roditi is a seminal figure in the pursuit of a rare idiom in music. Some call it Samba Jazz. If that was meant to conjure images similar to Latin Jazz it certainly goes a long way in to putting the sound [...]

Gabriel Espinosa – From Yucatan To Rio (Zoho Music 2009)
The journey from Yucatan to Rio was a really smooth one. It was brimful with samba and bossa nova, with a little baroque thrown in probably the happy memory of a childhood resplendent withy the music of Bach and Vivaldi. And there is plenty of everything in evidence on the record that Gabriel Espinosa has produced to commemorate his spirit journey from the place of his birth [...]
