Harry Allen´s All-Star Brazilian Band: Flying Over Rio

Musicians:
Harry Allen - saxophone
Klaus Mueller - piano
Guilherme Monteiro - guitar
Nilson Matta - bass
Duduka DaFonseca - drums
Maucha Adnet - vocals

Harry Allen's celebration of the intermingling of Brazilian music and jazz is immersed in this remarkable era of multicultural pluralism - not only blending the jazz of two Americas, but combining the South American songbook with North American pop songs and show tunes (in the spirit of the Sinatra - Jobim collaborations, which set the songs of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin to a bossa beat).
Will Friedwald, author and jazz critic for the Wall Street Journal
