O’s Notes: This is tenor saxophonist, Livio Almeida’s debut recording on the Zoho label. He leads a Brazilian quartet with Misael Silvestre (keyboards), Dan Castro (b), and Pedro Almeida (d). Brasilia Sessions was recorded in the capital of Brazil in a program with six Almeida originals and two local standards. Livio is sizzling on the New York jazz scene pre-pandemic, and he is a definitive force to embrace. This is a rich combination of Modern jazz and samba that begs your attention!
