Grammy nominated trumpet player Bobby Shew has created this romantic album of Brazilian style jazz with strings, which is reminiscent of the Jobin records arranged by Claus Ogerman. All compositions are by Reed Kotler, who Bobby has collaborated with in the past. An all-star cast of LA musicians appear including Gary Foster on saxophone, Andy Martin on Trombone, Larry Koonse on Guitar, Darek Oles on Bass, Kei Akagi (former pianist for Miles Davis) and Kendall Kay on Drums.
