O’s Notes: Carioca Duduka Da Fonseca continues where he left off on Samba Jazz – Jazz Samba, his last recording. He shrinks the band from five to three including David Feldman (p) and Gutto Wirth (b). Da Fonseca contributes two originals with four from Feldman and four covers. Duduka leads the charge from his perch on the drums. They recorded this set in Ipanema, Da Fonseca’s birthplace in Rio de Janeiro. The music is vibrant and relaxing as the trio gels around a mix of samba and modern jazz on both upbeat and medium tempos.
