Richard Wyands - Get Out of Town - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The album is titled A Vida Com Paixão, which means A Life with Passion, and it includes almost all original music. There's a little something for everyone from exciting rhythms like Brazilian samba and frevo, to groovy beats like samba reggae and maracatu to tender ballads. It is diverse world music influenced heavily by Brazilian percussion and American jazz.

Rare opportunity to encounter the veteran jazz pianist leading a trio session performing jazz standards, swinging & full of rich harmonic detail.

On his 2nd trio date for Criss Cross, pianist applies his magic touch to a program of ballads, blues & standards, joined by Peter & Kenny Washington.
