Guitar - Flute - Piano - Egberto Gismonti
Percussion - Berimbau - Naná Vasconcelos
Vocals - Egberto Gismonti , Naná Vasconcelos.

A beautiful pairing of these two Brazilian instrumentalists captured with near-perfect ECM sound, in a space that offers up the full complexities of their music! Egberto Gismonti plays acoustic guitar, as well as piano and flute and even sings a bit, just slightly and Nana Vasconcelos plays his familiar beribmau, and additional percussion often with that airy, ethereal style that leant so much grace to other ECM recordings. This date's a lot earthier than most of the rest on the label, though and marks the great European extrapolation of styles that occurred with both players heard here in a space that's arguably freer and more expressive than they might have found back in Brazil at the time. Titles include "Bianca", "Don Quixote", "Aquarela Do Brasil", "Rio De Janeiro", "Tomarapeba", and "Fogueira".

2.Magico (Egberto Gismonti)

4.Spor (Jan Garbarek)
5.Palhaco (Egberto Gismonti).



Charlie Haden (Double Bass)
Jan Garbarek (Saxohones)
Egberto Gismonti (Guitar and Piano).

Perhaps it was the presence of bassist Charlie Haden, but this trio set has more energy than one normally associates with the other members of the group (Jan Garbarek on tenor and soprano and Egberto Gismonti doubling on guitar and piano). The trio performs group originals and an obscurity during the picturesque and continually interesting release; this combination works well. - by Scott Yanow, AMG

Bass - Charlie Haden
Guitar 8 String & Super 8,Piano - Egberto Gismonti
Saxophone Tenor, Soprano,Jan Garbarek.

One of the better ECM recordings, this collaboration by bassist Charlie Haden, Jan Garbarek on tenor and soprano, and Egberto Gismonti (switching between guitar and piano) is filled with moody originals, improvisations that blend together jazz and world music, and atmospheric ensembles. This date works well both as superior background music and for close listening. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.
