about

Manhattan Samba is a samba jazz journey that introduces some new compositions of mine, revisits a few trusted older ones and features songs by the Brazilian masters Ivan Lins, Toninho Horta and of course Mestre Tom Jobim. The band consists of the fantastic Helio Alves on piano; two great bass players, Gustavo Amarante and Fernando Huergo; and on drums the legendary Portinho, who is one of the founding fathers of samba jazz drumming in the US. Portinho came over here many moons ago and generations of young drummers learned from him, his relentless groove drives the album. Add Helio’s burning solos and the solid swing of Gustavo and Fernando and you have a killer samba jazz rhythm section. Can’t fail with these masters. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy!
