Highlights of the show:

Among the great tunes from tonight show, a special release took place today when airing ‘Brazil’ from last work by Mark Weinstein, who is visiting Brazilian classics and approaching to jazz sounds from a Brazilian perspective.



The prolific Mark Weinstein is bringing ‘Jazz Brasil’, another album in a short period of time since his last 2010 release in his label Jazzheads, which is bringing his new work as well. This time, the long-life Latin jazz musician, renowned for his approach to Afro-Cuban inspired music, make a leap into Brazilian musical terrains along with his flute and a small lineup with the basics; this is piano, bass and drums, accompanying him. Other than the awesome renditions to Tom Jobim’s tunes as ‘Triste’ or ‘If you never come to me’, you may find the popular ‘Brazil’ which sounds pretty cool from the flute perspective by Mr. Weinstein. He also presents covers of other very popular jazz musicians as Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter or Herbie Mann. The overall sense of peacefulness and achievement of musical mastery is remarkable throughout the whole album. However, the pulse and tense from the first half of the album doesn’t keep up as well in the second half, where the tone is mellower and it is offered a darker, more introspective view. Nevertheless, this is a great album as a whole which will be delightful to take in bits to truly appreciate to make it grow in your appreciation. Enjoy!
