In Rio: Strongly jazz-focused throughout and excellently exposing Minas'unique brand of Bossa Nova jazz, sambas and original ballads. Recorded in Rio de Janeiro last summer with top-notch Brazilian musicians (Adriano Giffoni, João Cortez, Afonso Claudio and Djalma Correa), In Rio was brought back to Philadelphia to add local elements via John Swana (flugelhorn/trumpet), Tony Salicandro (soprano sax/flute) and Ron Kerber (flute). Inspired by the city of its name, the all-acoustic In Rio brings back the real feel of the streets, right down to the Portuguese mosaic hand-laid sidewalk stones of Ipanema featured on its cover. Quotes: "The meticulous blend of instrumentation and arrangements coupled with Minas's unique musical approach to perform these songs make In Rio an instant winner" -- Egidio Leitão, Musicabrasileira.org. "The wonder is that such percussion-based music can be so luxuriously relaxing. In Rio is like an aural massage." --David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer "Even at its most racing tempo, In Rio maintains its cool; always urbane, sophisticated and contemporary." - -Mary Armstrong, Philadelphia City Paper "It's your finest release yet. I'm really impressed
with the quality of your original compositions. They sound like classics
already... Congratulations on an "quite delightful" --David Heymann, KKUP Santa Clara, CA "very pretty" --Suzanne Corley, "Tudo Bem", WWOZ, New Orleans "an excellent peace of work" --Chuck Elliott, WXPN, Philadelphia "It is a very fine CD, and we are enjoying very much using it on our jazz shows." --Michael Foster, WVUD, Newark, DE "I like it a lot- very nice!" --Mike Jacobs, KIOS, Omaha, Nebraska
