O’s Notes: The light Brazilian samba jazz of Trio da Paz is now established and enjoyed by a multitude of listeners around the world. For Café, they invite Dianne Reeves (v), Joe Lovano (sax) and Cesar Camargo Mariano (Hammond B3) for a couple of tracks each. This not only broadens the appeal of the album but accentuates the performance. Highlights are “Wave” with Lovano, “Gentle Rain” with Mariano, “Café”, and “Softly As In A Morning Sunrise” featuring Reeves. The guest artists are exceptional on theses cuts!
