O’s Notes: Carioca Ricardo Peixoto is a guitarist and composer who assembles a wide range of American and Brazilian musicians for“Scary Beautiful. Bob Afifi (fl), Paul McCandless (s-sax), Marcos Silva (p), Cliff Hugo (b) and Mike Shapiro (d) are a few of the standout performers. The music is well beyond the standard bossa nova sampling. Afifi and Peixoto bring a calming force to the complex interactions between strings, brass and Latin percussion. ‘Morro da PaixÜo‘, ‘Velma Amizade‘ and ‘Circles‘ are highlights in this fresh Bras’lian set.
