O’s Notes: Duda sings and strums his guitar leading a quartet with Kevin Hamilton (b), Gerald Gregory (p) and Quentin Baxter (d). The program is a well-chosen set of seven Brazilian classics. Lucena and company do a fine job recreating the magic. They swing in the breeze on “Lugar Comum” the opening track that warmed up the audience and set the stage for a wonderful set. There are seven songs highlighted by “Corcovado” and “Odara”. This is a fine taste of Brazil.
