The Brazilian woodwind wizard and his group (all talented multi instrumentalists) present an amazing and often surprising work of jazz/folk fusion.
Perhaps best known as a disciple of the great Hermeto Pascoal and a member of his group, Jota places his work in the same unique genre as his mentor- “Universal Music.” Expect improvisation heavy tunes with no limits and equal attention paid to the musical traditions of the worlds villages as well as its conservatories.
South American roots influences, the whole spectrum of jazz, modern classical and a keen ear for popular music all mix together in these excellent songs.
