by Ken DrydenThis CD focuses primarily on Brazilian standards performed by the Konitz sextet, except for the Brazilian-flavored Lunasea, written by Peggy Stern, which features her high school choir. Berimbau is swinging and percussive, while the well-known Insensatez takes many unexpected turns. Triste is also a familiar theme played with relish. Vocalist Adela Dalto makes a strong impression with her guest spot on A Felicidade. Konitz's duet with the phenomenal acoustic guitarist Romero Lubambo on Manha De Carnaval is breathtaking.
