Album Review

Although there are quite a few musicians on this set by Brazilian guitarist/singer Toninho Horta, the other musicians mostly just add colors and are a bit of a frivolity. Horta, whose playing is melodic and pretty while his singing is haunting, is virtually the whole show. The music is more commercial than on his more intimate releases (with funkier rhythms), but Horta plays and sings in his usual atmospheric fashion. Although not quite essential, this early release from Horta will be enjoyed by his fans.

Customer Reviews

Unbelieveable!

Mesmerizing, gorgeous music! Easily one of the finest guitarists on the planet...Bicycle Ride, I'll Never Forget, the duet with Metheny (Moonstone)...all sublime. Stop reading these reviews and just buy the album!!

One of the first of my old CDs downloaded to iTunes!

Great album. Beautiful sounds. Pat Metheny fans should like this.

You'll love this album!

I've been a fan of Horta for over 25 years and this in my opinion is his best creation. All of the songs are just gorgeous and will make you a fan also. I had the priviledge of watching him in a live acoustic concert in a small room in Miami Beach 20 years ago and he was flawless. I have never heard music like his from anyone - truly unique.
