Bobby Wellins Quartet - Birds of Brazil - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This is an ethereal record. The continual return of the haunting central theme creates a hypnotic dreamlike atmosphere giving the whole work a symphonic tone-poem quality. This is not traditional Brazilian bossa-nova but a finely woven textural work. Comparisons have been made with Chick Corea's legendary InchReturn to ForeverInch but these pieces are also deeply original - Cristovao Bastos, Quarteto Brasil's leader, arranger and principal composer has been an important figure on the Brazilian music scene for almost forty years.
