Flautist Lori Bell explores the music of Brazilian composer Djavan in this rewarding studio session. Bell is a gifted player who doesn't resort to hot-dogging on her instrument, she is interested in getting each song's melody across without theatrics. She and pianist Tamir Hendelman (a brilliant up-and-coming player) arranged the quartet selections. The leader's lyricism is magnificent in "A Ilha (The Island")." The breezy contemporary setting of "Serrado" features an overdubbed flute in the introduction, with the leader joyfully propelled by the rhythm section. The hip samba "Luz (Light)" will appeal to smooth jazz fans who want to expand their musical horizons. Vocalist/percussionist Anna Gazolla adds an enticing, sexy vocal to "Capim." Orchestrations by Kuno Schmid are featured in three songs, with one of them, "Faltando Um Peda‡o (Missing a Piece)" adding guest Angelo Metz on guitar. Recommended. ~ Ken Dryden

Professional Reviews

JazzTimes (p.66) - "Bell's virtuoso command of both the C and alto flutes allows her to rock out on the harder grooves, swirling and staccato punching notes on 'Canto da Lyra,' while swinging along fluently with bop runs and trills on the double-times sections of 'A Ilha (The Island)'..."
