about

"This is an album that is likely to grow on the listener for its honest jazz values."
~ Jazz Podium

"Trumpeter Claudio Roditi brings an earnest understanding of his Brazilian homeland's music to the table ... it's exceptionally well done and stands well on its own."
~ Todd Jenkins, Down Beat

This set features chamber jazz from a top-notch trumpet-piano-bass trio. Trumpeter-flugelhornist Claudio Roditi is mostly the lead voice due to the nature of his instrument, but in reality all three musicians contribute equally to the music's success. In addition to two songs by Dizzy Gillespie ("Ow!" and "Con Alma") the repertoire consists of eight originals from pianist Klaus Ignatzek and one from Jean-Louis Rassinfosse. Despite the absence of standards, the sound of the group is reminiscent of the Chet Baker Trio of the 1980s, groups that sometimes included bassist Jean-Louis Rassinfosse. In general this is pleasant easy listening music, even the up-tempo numbers, due to the group's low volume, tasteful playing and melodic improvising.

Roditi is often presented on records and in concert as a big band power player but here we have an appealing illustration of the intimate and elegant sides of his musical personality. Nevertheless this is very much a trio of equals with each player listening to the others and developing their ideas and moods. They are all inventive, melodic swingers so their music plays to the head, the heart and the feet. This is an album that is likely to grow on the listener for its honest jazz values.
