O’s Notes: Barron is on top of his game with exceptional work on piano for these eight new songs. He is joined by Trio da Paz from Brazil who infuses a mild samba that has universal appeal. The sextet includes drummer Duduka Da Fonseca, Nilson Matta on bass and some peaceful melodies from Anne Drummon on flute. The result is a set that has a cool complexity in step with today’s modern jazz.
