O’s Notes: This trio consists of three of Brazil’s best jazz musicians with pianist Helio Alves, drummer Duduka Da Fonseca and Nilson Matta on bass. They are all based in New York but retain strong roots in Brazil. Each is a formidable jazz artist and they have successfully melded American jazz and samba for Forests. It is a combination of originals and Brazilian standards that will resonate with fans of both segments. Highlights are “Montreux”, Alves dancing across the keys on “Pro Zeca” and “Vera Cruz”.
